Spire Ultra
North Wingfield, United Kingdom • 1 May 2027
Spire Ultra
The Spire Ultra is a 33 mile trail race now in its ninth year. The route largely follows the Chesterfield Round Walk, a waymarked circuit that passes the town known for its Crooked Spire. The course covers a variety of terrain including high moorland, ancient woodland, reservoirs, rolling farmland and restored former mining areas.
The route is largely unmarked, with a few trickier navigation sections marked by the organisers. Route notes and GPX files are provided and some Chesterfield Round Walk waymarks appear along the course; a paper map can be used as a backup for navigation.
Registration takes place at North Wingfield Community Resource Centre and free car parking is available at the centre and on nearby estate roads. Checkpoints are located at Spitewinter (6 miles), Ladywood (10.5 miles), Barlow (15 miles), Hundall (19 miles), Brimington (22 miles) and Sutton Scarsdale (27 miles). Every checkpoint has water and checkpoints 2, 4 and 6 also provide food.
The event has a nine hour time limit and a cutoff at Checkpoint 4. Every finisher receives a memento and there are prizes for first male and first female. Light refreshments are available at the finish and medic cover is provided on course and at race headquarters. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
