Peak Raid Mountain Marathon 1 2026

The Peak Raid Mountain Marathon 1 is a 3-hour score race held in the Dark Peak, with the specific location revealed shortly before the event. Rather than following a set, marked course, participants navigate to select checkpoints within the time limit. Consequently, strategic route planning is as important as running pace. This event is designed for solo runners or pairs, excluding larger teams and any junior category. Runners receive a pre-printed waterproof map. The race emphasizes navigation and emergency preparedness over pure trail-running endurance. The minimum age for participation is 14. Individuals under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian aged 21 or older. Registration is exclusively via pre-entry, with distinct pricing for members and non-members, an early discount, and a late entry fee applied after the standard deadline. Post-race, participants are provided with hot beverages and flapjack, aligning with the event's practical, understated fell-running character.
