START / FINISH LOCATION

The Pavilion, Parwich



DISTANCE

The route is approximately 17 miles long with 2,000 ft of elevation



NAVIGATION

This is a self-navigation event, so please ensure that you are confident using either a GPX navigation system on your watch / phone OR a physical map & compass. We will only put minimal signage out on the course (such as at road crossings) & for the majority you’ll be following public right of ways or well-used trails



THE QUEST

Collect and Deliver! You’ll visit two points-of-interest on the route and will need to collect a card from each, and deliver them to the finish line in Parwich. There will be spot prizes at the finish for those with the funniest combination of cards!



AID STATIONS

There will be three aid stations for you to refuel & replenish your weary legs at during your Quest. There will be a selection of sweet & savoury snacks & light refreshments available, including REAL COCA COLA;

Aid Station 1 @ 3.5 miles – shortly after arriving on the High Peak Trail (you’ll need it after the initial climb!)

Aid Station 2 @ 9.4 miles – before the “Cliff” descent into Carsington Village

Aid Station 3 @ 14 miles – in Bradbourne by the Church, to provide energy for that last push to the finish!
