The Bell & Harp Chase

The Bell & Harp Chase

The Bell & Harp Chase returns for its second year on Saturday 18th July 2026. Organized by the Bell and Harp Running Club, the event features a single course distance:

• 7.5 km

The route starts and finishes at the Bell & Harp pub in Little Eaton. Participants navigate an undulating course over mixed terrain through the Derbyshire Dales. The path is well defined and the course utilizes chip timing for all participants.

This edition introduces several updates, including an expanded field of entrants and the addition of a 45+ age category. In addition to general participation, there are multiple prizes available, and the winner will have their name added to a bespoke artisan plaque.

The event is open to participants aged 18 or older on the date of the race. Free car parking is provided for those traveling to the venue at Whittaker Lane. Registration is managed through a pre-entry online system, with entries closing one day before the event. Following the run, there is an organized gathering featuring music and food at the starting location. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
