Peak Raid - Eastern Moors and Burbage Valley

Peak Raid Race 3 Eastern Moors

The Peak Raid Race 3 takes place at Eastern Moors and Burbage Valley within the Peak District. This fell running event follows a score format, where participants have a three-hour time limit to navigate the landscape and visit as many control points as possible. Each control point has a specific value, and the objective is to accumulate the maximum number of points. Points are deducted for returning after the time limit has expired.

The course covers various terrains, including high moorland and runnable paths through limestone dales. Participants are responsible for their own route choice, allowing for different levels of difficulty and speed. Navigation skills are essential as runners use a provided waterproof map containing control descriptions.
