Grindleford Gallop
The Grindleford Gallop is an annual running and walking event held in March on routes through the hills of the Peak District. The event features a 21 mile course and is open to both runners and walkers.
Entries are managed through SIEntries and historically the event fills quickly. The organisers do not operate a waiting list; places sometimes become available if entrants cancel. Final race information has been published as a race details document in previous years. Organisers have also issued event merchandise designs such as T-shirts and buffs.
A change introduced for 2026 added staggered starts to reduce congestion in the early wooded section and to give participants the option of a more relaxed start. The 2026 event took place on Saturday 14th March 2026. The next scheduled date announced is Saturday 13th March 2027, which will mark the event's 30th anniversary and will have entries opening in November.
Sponsors named on event pages include Outside, RAB and Hassop Station. The event is organised around Grindleford and its surrounding Peak District terrain and is presented each year as a single long-distance challenge over varied hill country.
