Loop The Loop Trail Challenge
Loop The Loop is a 24-hour trail running challenge held in Edale, Peak District. Participants run repeated fixed half-marathon loops of 23.3 km (14.5 miles) with approximately 977 m of ascent per loop. The event limits entries to a maximum of 50 runners.
The format is self-managed: there are no intermediate cut-offs and runners may take as much rest as they wish between loops. The first loop is run clockwise; after that each participant may choose to run clockwise, anticlockwise or alternate directions. Transitions are managed by each runner using personal kit and the provided race facilities. On-course support includes water at a checkpoint and Ranger Safety Team presence at HQ and on the route. Navigation notes and a GPX file are provided to entered participants.
Accommodation and transition options are offered with limited places: Option A (up to 30 places) includes hostel bed and indoor personal transition space; Option B (up to 20 places) provides a single-person tent pitch in the Peak Centre grounds; Option C is a single log cabin pod available for one booking. Prices vary by option and include access to showers, toilets and dining facilities. Food and refreshments are available at race HQ throughout the event. All finishers receive a hand-made eco-trophy indicating the number of loops completed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
