Runners climb out of Bakewell, enjoy a long gentle descent back along the Monsal Trail and by the River Wye, and the long route includes an additional climb and a descent through woodland to re-join the short route. Long course runners are required to carry mandatory kit. Short course runners must wear kit appropriate for the terrain and conditions. The finish area is at the Thornbridge Brewery Tap Room where beer and Bakewell pudding are provided. The event is held under UK Athletics rules and is licenced by the Trail Running Association. A proportion of entry fees will be allocated to local businesses and charities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
