Welcome to the Drone Valley Trail Half Marathon, a brand new 13.1-mile race through the stunning Derbyshire countryside. Starting and finishing at the Drone Valley Brewery in Unstone, this trail race offers runners the chance to explore the best of the local landscape, with its mix of forests, fields, hills, and canal paths.
