Based on our popular Lunar Trails half marathon races, the Pink Moon Ladies only trail half marathon returns for its second year in 2026!
This trail half marathon heralds the rising of the Pink Moon (the name given to the full moon in April). You will welcome the Pink Moon by running out and back on this challenging but scenic route (expect to be 20 - 30 minutes longer than your usual half marathon time). You will run through Sutton Springs Wood and then climb to the Five Pits Trail, making sure to soak up the views as you go. The route will then undulate before reaching the turning loop where there will be an aid station.
Running back the way you came, you will receive a warm welcome at the finish where you will receive your medal and you can relax and reflect on your achievement with complementary cake and hot drinks by the campfire!
Registration: 3.30pm onwards at Race HQ, Rock Lane, Sutton Scarsdale S44 5ST. Free car parking is available at the Race HQ and on the nearby lane. Toilets are also available at Race HQ.
Event start: 5pm (early start: 4.30pm); event finish: 8pm.
Time limit: 3½hours. This time limit includes an optional 30 minute earlier start for slower athletes or for athletes who don't feel as confident running at dusk/in the dark. Note, this is not a competitive wave start; it is not for runners who expect to finish inside 2hours 30mins.
Checkpoint: at the halfway turnaround point in Pilsley, providing water, squash, sweets.
Safety: There will be additional marshals wearing hi viz along the course and in Sutton Springs Wood and there’ll be glow sticks through the wood/down Rock Lane to guide you to the finish. There will be a tail runner or safety bike on the course.
There is medic cover out on the course and at the race HQ.
The Pink Moon race will raise funds for the local Women's Aid charity, The Elm Foundation
