Peak District Ultra Challenge 2025
The Peak District Challenge invites you to walk, jog or run a distance of your choice, along a sign-posted route, with free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage.
From the Bakewell basecamp the full 100km challenge heads out past Chatsworth House, and on through varied terrain on a figure of 8 route with a few testing climbs, and some stunning views.
With 75km, 50km, 25km and 10 mile challenge options also available - there's a challenge here for everyone – and you can join as an individual or as a team.
As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a big welcome from the cheer squad, a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a special medal to celebrate your achievement.
