Loved this event. Navigation issues as I couldn't download the route to my watch. Problem managed by buddying up with another runner, Steve, who had recced the course and had the route saved. Thanks Steve. Amazing marshals and well stocked aid stations.

A lovely route through the Derbyshire countryside, well organised and supported with friendly volunteers and marshalls, good pit stops and finish line refreshments. GPX route is provided to aid navigation. A fun day out on the trails!

Such a fantastic route in an area I’d not explored much before. Jamie and Claire are always so friendly and helpful and are some of the best at planning event routes . All the marshals and volunteers were excellent, couldn’t recommend highly enough

A scenic and fun course, which kept interesting and varied the whole way. The marshals were friendly, the stops had a great mix of food and drinks, and the event had a really nice feel. This is the longest run I’ve done, and the friendly atmosphere really helped me along. There could have been a little more signage in a couple of tricky places, but the GPX info was more than enough to avoid getting lost. The organisers seem very responsive to feedback, and have already been in touch to say they’re improving this for next year. I’ll definitely be back.
