About the Event

Celebrate the legacy of Britain’s original National Park on a spectacular journey through its iconic heart. The Peak District Birthday Bash on Saturday, 18th April 2026, is an epic trail challenge offering two formidable distances: a full 70km tour de force and a classic 35km half route. Both start from the vibrant village of Castleton, weaving through the park's most dramatic landscapes—from the Great Ridge and the wild plateau of Kinder Scout to the legendary Stanage Edge. Choose your adventure: conquer the full 70km with 2,600m of ascent for the ultimate test, or immerse yourself in the stunning 35km half with over 1,300m of climbing. Organised by CraggRunner, this event is a celebration of community, challenge, and conservation, offering legendary checkpoint support, multiple start times for runners and hikers, and a fantastic finish-line atmosphere—all while supporting the Peak District National Park Foundation.
