Peak Skyline | Peak Skyline

Following the success of the event since 2014 – All sell-outs, the race is back. The Peak District is one of the most popular National Parks in the UK, split into the White and Dark Peak areas. White Peak for Limestone, Dark Peak for Gritstone. This Peak District Skyline takes place in the White Peak area, but the course crosses its fair share of gritstone and moorland. We also offer a 14.5 mile Half-Skyline as well as the usual full distance. This is designed to appeal to those who want a great trail running experience, but a comfortable mileage at a more relaxed pace. The full 50k race is very difficult with a challenging time limit, so we recommend the half-distance if you are wavering. It is not uncommon for 20+ full distance event runners to fail to make the timed cut-off’s – you have been warned! The longer race is fast and furious, and why it’s so popular! New for 2024 is The Peak Yomp! This takes place on the same Half-Skyline route. You must carry a backback (weighed at check-in) of between 8kg and 15kg (calculation based on your body weight). A yomp is a term used for soldiers marching over difficult terrain with equipment. The £5 additional entry price for this category is entirely donated to “Royal Marine’s Charity”.
