About the race
The DCRO Dash is an annual running event organized by the Derbyshire Cave Rescue Organisation to raise funds for their volunteer cave rescue team. Held in the scenic hills south-west of Castleton in the Peak District, the race covers approximately 8.5 km with a total ascent of 370 meters. Participants navigate through challenging upland terrain, including old mining areas, with the route partially flagged and marshalled for safety.
The event emphasizes safety and proper gear, requiring runners to carry full FRA kit. The race attracts a diverse group of runners and serves as a vital fundraiser for the organization’s rescue operations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
