Grindleford Gallop

The Grindleford Gallop is an annual running and walking event held in March across the hills of the Peak District. The event is a 21 miles challenge for runners and walkers and is staged each year by local organisers.

Entries are processed through the SIEntries platform and have historically filled quickly. The organisers do not operate a waiting list; places can become available only if participants cancel and those places are reissued on SIEntries.

Recent event changes include staggered starts introduced for 2026. The staggered starts were added to reduce a bottleneck in the first section through the woods and to offer participants the option of a more relaxed start. Final race details and public information have been published in advance of recent events, and organisers have provided T-shirt and buff designs for specific years.

The next confirmed date published for the event is Saturday 13 March 2027, which the organisers identify as the 30th anniversary; they note plans for additional activity to mark that year. The event is routinely run in March and combines off-road hill terrain with organised race logistics. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
