The challenge

A basecamp in idyllic Bakewell will welcome 3,000 adventurers who will test themselves in the fabulous Peak District National Park. You can take it on at your pace as a walk, jog, or run while fundraising for Alzheimer's Society! 

There’s a range of camping options and extensive hospitality and welfare services with a full 100km challenge which takes a tough and varied figure of eight route through Derbyshire’s finest scenery. 

Sign up as an individual or as a team - you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food and drink, a special medal, t-shirt and celebration finish. With 50km, 25km and 10-mile options also available – there’s a challenge here for everyone!
