Pink Moon - Ladies Trail Half Marathon

Pink Moon Ladies Trail Half Marathon

The Pink Moon Ladies Trail Half Marathon is a trail running event for women held in Sutton Scarsdale. The race coincides with the rising of the Pink Moon, the name given to the full moon in April. Participants follow an out and back route that utilizes the same course as the Lunar Trail Half Marathon races.

The course features a variety of terrain and elevation changes. Runners pass through Sutton Springs Wood and climb toward the Five Pits Trail, which offers views of the surrounding landscape. The route continues along undulating paths until reaching a turning loop in Pilsley. A checkpoint is located at this halfway point, providing water, squash, and sweets. The event adheres to SheRACES guidance and raises funds for The Elm Foundation, a local Women's Aid charity.

Support on the course includes marshals in high-visibility clothing, glow sticks to mark the path through the woods, and a tail runner or safety bike. Medical cover is present both at the race headquarters and along the route. After finishing, participants receive a medal and have access to hot drinks and cake by a campfire.
