The course

What you’re in for

A grand loop out of Hayfield in a day, joining the Pennine Bridleway, the Pennine Way and the Limestone Way, with 1,840 m of climb across fifty kilometres. Fast trail between the harder pulls, and Ranger pitch it at people stepping up from the marathon or coming off road for the first time. Self-navigated, but along National Trail and local footpath posts on rights of way, so the route-finding is honest rather than tricky. Flexible start between nine and half past ten, finish by nine in the evening.

VERY HARD
Kinder Scout from Hayfield
13.9km · 469m climb · Loop · 1.2km away
You get onto the highest ground in the Peak District on a route steeped in access history, with the plateau edges giving fast, airy running once you are up.
VERY HARD
Edale Skyline
29.5km · 861m climb · Loop · 9.5km away
You spend almost the whole loop on the skyline itself, linking gritstone edges and summits with the Edale valley dropping away below you the entire way round.
HARD
Mam Tor and the Great Ridge
12.6km · 502m climb · Loop · 9.6km away
You run the entire Great Ridge end to end, a paved skyline with the Hope and Edale valleys falling away on either side, then loop through Castleton beneath the caves and old road.
VERY HARD
Bleaklow Head and Torside Clough from Torside Reservoir
16.9km · 425m climb · Loop · 12km away
You get a flat 5km warm-up, one long honest climb onto some of the emptiest peat in England, and then four kilometres of clear, fast descending along the lip of Torside Clough with the reservoir laid out below you.
MODERATE
Torside to Woodhead Tunnels via the Longdendale Trail
10.2km · 51m climb · Out & back · 12km away
It is a rare flat, fast run in the Dark Peak - a traffic-free old railway line running dead level past four reservoirs to the great stone mouths of the Woodhead tunnels.
HARD
Black Hill and Crowden Little Brook Loop
14.4km · 426m climb · Loop · 13km away
Black Hill's peat-black plateau feels as remote as anywhere in the Peak, and the return along the edge above Laddow Rocks is some of the best moor-edge running in the north.
