Derbyshire Dales Trail Run

Ilkeston, United Kingdom • 13 Sep 2026

Trail Running in the Peak District

The Derbyshire Dales Trail Run takes place at the Bakewell Showground, providing a base for routes that explore the Peak District landscape. Participants can choose from three distinct distances:

  • Half Marathon
  • 15 km
  • 9.5 km

The courses utilize the Monsal Trail and follow the path of the River Derwent. During the run, the routes pass by Chatsworth House and go through the countryside near the village of Edensor. These sections offer panoramic views of the surrounding area before the trail transitions into different terrain.

The final segments of the event include a descent followed by a climb into Manners Wood. The finish line is located back at the starting area. The event is characterized by its mix of riverside paths, woodland tracks, and rural trails. Marshals are stationed along the course to assist participants as they navigate the different distances.
