The Cordwell Colossus
The Cordwell Colossus is a challenging 20-mile summer trail run held in North Derbyshire, near the eastern edge of the Peak District. The route features an 840m ascent through the scenic Cordwell and Linacre Valleys, encompassing woodland tracks, hilly farmland, rural trails, and single-track paths. Starting and finishing at Holmesfield Village Hall, the course loops anticlockwise with spectacular views from high ground.
The event welcomes runners and fast walkers who can complete the course within a 6-hour cut-off. Participants benefit from two well-stocked checkpoints and post-race refreshments, with all finishers receiving a commemorative medal. Free parking is available at the village hall.
