Difficulty Grading: Moderate (Grade 2)

Our Peak District Trail Running Camp is designed for regular road runners covering 10-25km (6.2-15.6 miles), who are wanting to transition to the trails with a mix of structured sessions and longer runs. If you’re already an experienced trail runner, don’t worry. We have an experienced coaching team who will lead different groups to make sure everyone in challenged in a safe way.

Shorter training runs and group sessions (1.5-2 hours) may include bursts of speed on flat or uphill terrain, depending on experience. Longer runs or point-to-point routes will cover 15-25km (9.3-15.6 miles) over 2.5-3 hours, combining running and power hiking as needed, with peaks reaching up to 500 – 550m (1640-1805ft). Expect a mix of well-maintained trails, narrower paths, and steep ascents and descents.
