We have entered the Peak District 100km Challenge

Starting from the beautiful town of Bakewell, the figure of 8 loop course takes a tough and varied route through Derbyshire’s finest scenery and Peaks

The 100km route ascends a total of 2450m

You may be asking by now who is mad enough to volunteer to take on this challenge?

My daughter, Katie, has been Trail running for a number of years and participated in a number of races. The most difficult in 2018 when she completed the Pan Y Fan marathon in the Brecon Beacons, the course that the marines use for their training.

In 2020, I saw the Peak District Challenge advertised for the weekend of the 3rd July, my father’s birthday. So, I suggested to Katie we take on the 50km challenge and run in memory of my father. She said the 50km would not be enough of a challenge, so we entered the full100km challenge!!

Covid then hit, and injury prevented us running last year. Which means we take on the challenge on July 9th 2022.

I have absolutely no experience of Trail Running. My first event was the Jurassic Coast run last week. I have been training hard and hope to finish in under 15 hours.
