About the race
The Peak District Challenge is a trekking event for hill walkers and runners organised by Wilderness Development. It offers multiple distance options through Peak District terrain and uses Hathersage as the event centre.
All routes start and finish at Hathersage Memorial Hall, S32 1DU, and all routes finish in Hathersage on Saturday evening. The event was first held in 2013. Entry fees are described as low, with no fundraising commitment and no deductions from charity income.
Distance options include:
- 25 km (Copper)
- 50 km (Bronze)
- 75 km (Silver)
- 100 km (Gold)
- 100 miles in 24 hours
Participants are encouraged to enter as teams of three to five people. Solo or duo participants are permitted only if they can demonstrate navigation experience or are willing to attend a navigation training course before the event. The format combines trekking and route finding across varied upland terrain, with checkpoints and support provided along the routes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
