Local Challenges and Races

If you don’t have a race coming up or fancy trying out some training routes, take a look at our local challenges. Covering long lost (almost) fell races and short sharp road challenges that finish at the pub, there is something for everyone. Do them on a social, give them an effort, some may even be close to breaking the known records.

All route information sheets were researched and prepared by Ian Crutchley with support from club members past and present where noted.

Fell

Don’t forget about safety in the hills and always take appropriate equipment. Check out our guide if you’re new to fell running.

Road

Important: these route are on open roads around Glossop and completed at everyone’s own risk. Extreme care should be taken at all times, especially when crossing any roads. Remember: a PB isn’t more important than your safety.

Navigation

These routes are designed to take you off the beaten track to often more remote/less-travelled locations. Please make sure you have the appropriate skill level to take these on, take appropriate kit for the conditions, attempt them in pairs and tell someone what you’re doing and how long you expect it to take. It’s always useful to have a GPS back-up device if you do get in trouble with navigation.

Historic Races

Unfortunately not to be attempted under any circumstances. These races were held with some closed roads and used the B6105 (Woodhead Road) where there are no footpaths and fast moving traffic. Routes are recorded here for historic information only.
