It climbs from Baslow through fields towards Hassop, follows a ridge through Bank Wood and Bramley Wood, drops to the River Derwent and Calver/Curbar, then climbs to Baslow Edge on limestone trail and gritstone before descending Bar Road into Baslow.
Routes are well marked and marshalled. The event is licensed and run under FRA rules, and participants should be prepared to carry the FRA Mandatory Minimum Kit.
