Spire Ultra
The Spire Ultra is a 33-mile trail race celebrating its 10th edition in 2026, held around Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The course largely follows the Chesterfield Round Walk, a waymarked route encircling the town known for its Crooked Spire. Runners experience diverse terrain including high moorland, ancient woodland, reservoirs, rolling farmland, and restored mining areas, offering a varied and scenic challenge.
The race features six checkpoints—four with drinks only and two with food and drink, including sweet and savory options. Medic support is provided on course and at the race HQ, located at the North Wingfield Community Resource Centre. Finishers receive a special 10-year anniversary memento and light refreshments.
The event has a 9-hour time limit and free parking is available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
