After the huge success of the first edition, we’re pleased to announce that the Minninglow March is back for 2026!



The Minninglow March explores a beautiful circular route from the pretty village of Parwich, a few miles North of Ashbourne, nestled in the Derbyshire Dales.



Sunday 12th July 2026, 9am. 2026 Entries open NOW Click here to enter



START / FINISH LOCATION

The Pavilion, Parwich

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.

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!

1916. As World War I rages on the Western Front, the Choral Society in Ramsden, Yorkshire has lost most of its men to the army. The Choral’s ambitious committee, determined to press ahead, decides to recruit local young males to swell their ranks. They must also engage a new chorus master, and despite their suspicions that he has something to hide, their best bet seems to be Dr. Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes) – driven, uncompromising, and recently returned from a career in Germany. As conscription papers start to arrive, the whole community discovers that the best response to the chaos that is laying waste to their lives is to make music together.

Directed by Nicholas Hytner and written by BAFTA and Tony-winning playwright, author and screenwriter Alan Bennett
