About the race
The Winter Half – Tour of Bradwell is a winter fell race held on Saturday 13 February 2027, with a reserve date of 20 February if weather forces a change. The course is an anticlockwise loop of about 17.5 miles that crosses varied Peak District terrain, including Shatton ridge, Bamford, Ladybower, the shoulder of Win Hill, Lose Hill and the Great Ridge, Castleton, Cave Dale and the final descent to Bradwell. The route includes an untimed road crossing at Bamford and uses remote checkpoints with two dib boxes at each control; competitors must attempt to dib at both boxes and report any faults to the marshal. Entries are limited to 300.
Entry fees vary by date with an event-day entry fee if spaces remain. Car parking is free; the main car park is a short walk from the venue. Each runner receives a map and control descriptions at registration.
Timing is by Race-Tek and the event will trial the Beacon Racing app; app users may be eligible for a local beer reward. Competitors must carry mandatory kit including suitable fell shoes, waterproof body cover and overtrousers, hat, gloves, compass, whistle, map, timing chip and race number, sufficient food and drink, a watch that is not a map-display device, an emergency bivvy bag and a phone in a waterproof bag. Marshals enforce kit rules and number display; failure to comply can lead to disqualification. Hot drinks and soup are provided after the race; prize distribution depends on weather.
