About the Event

Embark on an iconic journey through the very heart of the Peak District. The Dovedale Dipper, based in the charming village of Hartington, returns on Saturday, 1st August 2026, offering two stunning trail adventures for runners and hikers alike. Choose your challenge: conquer the "Big Dipper," a marathon-plus route weaving through the dramatic Dove and Manifold valleys, or embrace the scenic yet demanding climbs of the "Little Dipper." Since 2003, this beloved event has drawn participants to its spectacular limestone landscapes, rewarding every step with breathtaking vistas and a profound sense of achievement. Organized by Craggrunner and steeped in community spirit, the Dipper is more than a race—it's a summer pilgrimage for trail enthusiasts seeking a classic, well-crafted challenge. Secure your place in a Peak District tradition where every hill tells a story.
