The Challenge
A beautiful 22 mile / 35km circular route, mainly off road with 3300 feet / 1000 metres of ascent, following the high ground around Matlock and Darley Dale.
You can choose whether to walk or run it (or a mixture of both!), and you can do it solo, in a group, or make friends on the way round.
The route has been planned specifically for this challenge, which is a fundraiser for Derby Mountain Rescue Team. In partnership with Ordnance Survey.
