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.
