Event Information
This is a ladies-only trail half marathon. The race will take place in April 2026. The route is an out-and-back course also used for other popular half marathons by the organizer.
Course Details
The trail route passes through Sutton Springs Wood and includes a climb to the Five Pits Trail. It is considered challenging and scenic, with runners advised to expect a finish time 20 to 30 minutes longer than their usual half marathon. The course undulates and features a turning loop at the halfway point in Pilsley, where an aid station provides water, squash, and sweets. Marshals will be present on the course and in Sutton Springs Wood.
Race Details
The event has a time limit of 3.5 hours. An optional 30-minute earlier start is available for slower or less confident runners, but it is not a competitive wave start for faster participants. The race includes safety measures such as a tail runner or safety bike, medic cover on the course, and glow sticks to mark the path through the wood and down Rock Lane at dusk. The event raises funds for The Elm Foundation, a local Women's Aid charity.
Venue and Registration
Race HQ and registration are at Rock Lane, Sutton Scarsdale, S44 5ST. Free car parking and toilets are available at the venue. Registration opens in the afternoon. The event finish includes a medal and complementary cake and hot drinks by a campfire. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
