Not up to an ultra? There's also the option of Petit Raid - the Northern Loop which offers 20 miles of quality trail, hills, and views. Starting at High Ashes Rural Project, the full route scribes a figure of 8 through the rural splendour of the Amber Valley. Highlights aplenty will greet you on your way. There are punchy climbs and engaging descents, expansive views and some of the most pleasant woodland trails you’ll find anywhere in the UK. This event has the makings of becoming one of the best “small” ultra trail races in England. Note, the route is largely unmarked (we do mark out a couple of the trickier sections). We provide route notes and gpx file as downloads however you will have to bring your own map with the route marked on (map can be a photocopy / screen print etc - anything to help you "not get lost") The event has a 9-hour time limit. Each checkpoint has water, and checkpoint 1 and 3 has food too (granola and flapjack bars, bananas, crisps, individually wrapped savories, pizza, etc). CP1 - Wessington 9 miles. CP2 - Fritchley 16 miles. CP3 - Wessington 21 miles. CP4 - Tupton 27 miles. Additionally, there are a number of self-clips to pass through. Every finisher receives a medal. Winners' trophies for first M / F in each race.
This event is part of Amberaid 30 and Petit Raid.
