The Eckington Epic is a 7-mile trail race that showcases some of North Derbyshire's finest countryside. Taking place on the trails around Eckington and Marsh Lane, just south of Sheffield, the route takes runners on a scenic journey through woodland trails, rolling farmland, and easy bridleways. Enjoy some great views stretching towards the Moss Valley and the edges of the Peak District. The course contains a mix of runnable sections and a few testing climbs that will challenge your legs.
The race is self-guided, adding an extra layer of adventure, and runners will receive written instructions to follow on the day. There are no GPX files to follow, and no marshals on the route. You are responsible for your own safety. You will be timed out at the start and back in at the finish.
The Eckington Epic will be run under UK Athletics rules and UKA affiliated runners will be receive a £2 discount on their entry fee. The race costs £5 for UKA affiliated runners, and £7 for unaffiliated runners. The minimum age to take part is 16. No dogs permitted. Refunds will only be given in the event that the race is cancelled.
The race starts and finishes in Green Lawns Community Centre, Marsh Lane. Runners may choose their own start time. Although the route follows good paths with few hazards, we all know the February weather can be unpredictable. It is essential that all participants carry a waterproof jacket, warm layers, plenty of water, and a working mobile phone with the race director's phone number saved (Charlie Knight - 07905 657959).
