The Maverick Peak District Trail | Short Route

It is the long-distance event that, over the years, our Maverick Trail runners have returned to time and time again. You come looking for a challenge, and you are not disappointed. You come searching for adventure, and you leave with expectations greatly exceeded. The routes all start in the spectacular Bakewell Showground before taking you out into the National Park, where constantly varied and mixed terrain will keep you on your toes. Our three routes will take you over high moor and down through river valleys. You’ll crisscross over old railways and summit the highest peaks in the park. You’ll join the iconic well-trodden Pennine footpath in parts, and explore lesser-beaten tracks in others. Whilst never being far from a breathtaking view or lung-busting set of stone steps! Please note, there is no outpost on the Short route. The Maverick Peak District Trail run will have you hit all the edges of the park, taking you through Bamford, Hathersage, Curbar, Froggatt and Stanage, meaning you’ll get a fully immersive experience and feel for this incredible place. We can’t wait to welcome you back to our Peak District event. Those running the Half Marathon route will not be able to take part with a dog.
