No reviews of the Tittesworth Water, and nothing on what people wore. Both are things no organiser publishes and every runner wants before they enter — how it actually went, and what was on your feet.

What you’re in for

Three routes around Tittesworth Reservoir and out onto the Staffordshire moorland edge of the Peak District: a 50K with 1,551m of climb and ten hours from an eight o'clock start, a 22K with 811m and five hours, and a 10K with 351m from half past ten that takes in Hen Cloud and the Roaches and has two and a half hours and no aid station until the finish. Early July, cupless, taped-seam waterproof on the kit list. Reservoir views to start, rolling hills after, and the gritstone edges for the climbing.

Terrain and trail

Reservoir-side path and lane to begin, then the gritstone: rocky path along the Roaches and Hen Cloud, heather moor, peat and flagstone on the tops, and steep grassy sides coming back down. Wet in the peat even in July. Marked. A trail shoe with grip.

: The 50K has 1,551 m of ascent. The 22K has 811 m of ascent. The 10K has 351 m of ascent.

: We haven't confirmed the marking on the Tittesworth Water with RunThrough Trails. Check their race information before you enter rather than assuming it either way.
: We don't hold a compulsory kit list for the Tittesworth Water. RunThrough Trails confirm mandatory kit in their race information, usually in the final instructions.
: Overall time limits — 50K: 10h, 22K: 5h, 10K: 2h 30m. Ten hours on the 50K.

: Not yet — we don't hold a course file for the Tittesworth Water. Some organisers only send the GPX to entrants. If we get one, it goes up free, with no sign-up.
