Grindleford Gallop : Peak District 21 mile challenge
The Grindleford Gallop is a 21 mile challenge held annually in March through the hills of the Peak District. The event is open to runners and walkers and is organised by the local Grindleford Gallop team. Final race details have been published by the organisers.
Entries for the event typically open in November and places frequently sell out quickly; there is no waiting list and spaces become available only when entrants cancel. In 2026 the organisers introduced staggered starts to reduce a bottleneck in the early wooded section and to offer participants a more relaxed start option.
Recent communications highlight merchandise and event materials, including T-shirt and buff designs, and a downloadable race details document. Dates announced on the site include Saturday 14 March 2026 and Saturday 13 March 2027, the latter marking the event’s 30th anniversary; organisers have indicated plans in connection with that anniversary.
Sponsors named in event information include Outside, Rab and Hassop Station. The event has a history of rapid entry turnover, and organisers note that places often reappear shortly before the race as people withdraw. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
