Peak District Challenge

About the Event

Embarking on one of our challenging multi-day events is an adventure tailored to suit runners and walkers at various fitness levels. Whether you're stepping up for your first ultra-distance experience or pushing yourself through longer, more demanding routes, we have options designed with every participant in mind.
The 75km Silver route offers a substantial journey that begins under the cover of nightfall at 9pm, requiring participants to navigate and traverse terrain in low light conditions. This event is not for the faint-hearted; it demands physical endurance as well as mental fortitude. The 100km Gold Ultra extends this challenge further with an even longer distance, while our ultimate test—the 100 miles in 24 hours Ultra—puts your stamina and navigation skills to their absolute limit.
For those who choose the self-navigating route, you'll be equipped with a GPS tracker provided at no extra cost. This tool is crucial for staying on course as you make your way through checkpoints unaccompanied by guides or fellow participants. However, if you're new to navigating in such conditions and prefer not to venture out alone, we offer guided walking groups specifically for the Copper and Bronze routes, as well as an overnight leg of the Silver challenge.
Each route presents unique challenges and scenic beauty that will keep your senses engaged throughout every step. Join us and become part of a community dedicated to pushing their limits in some of nature's most captivating settings.
Experience the thrill of conquering distances under starlit skies, through varied landscapes, and alongside fellow adventurers who share your passion for endurance sports.
