Peak Raid MapRun - Spring & Summer Series 2022

Peak Raid MapRun 2022 Series

After the success of the 2021 Series with over 300 competitors taking part, Peak Raid MapRun is back – and now with the option of a professionally printed map.

Think fell running requiring good route choice and navigation skills. The courses are planned to provide great running in more remote ‘off the beaten track’ locations, along footpaths and over areas of open access land in the Peak District. All events have a score format so you select your own route and run as hard or as easy as you like!

All four races in the series are now live and open for a competitive run until Sunday 4th September 2022. 

Race 1 visits the secluded valleys, woodland trails and rolling gritstone hills of the Danebridge area. A post run trip to the Ship Inn or the Wincle Brewery Cafe is recommended!

Race 2 starts from the old lead mining village of Winster and visits the limestone hills above Wensley, the gritstone plateau of Stanton Moor and the deep valley of Clough Woods. Three contrasting areas of great running, tough climbs, and impressive views across the Derwent Valley.

Race 3 begins from the picturesque village of Alstonefield. The course offers the opportunity to run through three beautiful craggy limestone valleys, Wolfscote Dale, Biggin Dale and Beresford Dale, with the possibility of an ascent of Narrowdale Hill to admire the view.

Race 4 is located close to the old Miller’s Dale Station and visits some impressive limestone terrain. Deep crag lined valleys, upland pastures, cool tunnels on the Monsal Trail, secluded dales and wonderful panoramic views.

The series uses the MapRun6 app, and You can take part as many times as you like and at any time you choose.

Guidance on using the MapRun app can be found here: http://explorerevents.co.uk/map-run-guidance/

The series comprises of four, 2-hour score events with a time limit of 2 hours, all controls score 20 points and there is a penalty of -10 points for each minute late. The MapRun app allows you to compare your performance and route with other competitors using the online leader boards and tracks.

The closing date for all events is Wednesday 31 August. The last date for a competitive run in any of the four events is Sunday 4 September.

New for the 2022 Series – Order a Professionally Printed Map

This year we are offering the option to receive a professionally printed waterproof map for each of the four events. The deadline for map orders has now passed but we have a small quantity remaining which can be ordered when entering.

Map cost including postage: £2.50 per map. Allow 2 to 5 days.

Events can be run in any order and do not need to be completed in the month they go live. However, only runs completed by Sunday 4 September will contribute to the overall series results. The series result will be the combined score from all four MapRun events.

The series results will be updated at the end of each month and will be published on the Explorer Events website: www.explorerevents.co.uk
