Autumn Trail Run Series | Series Home

The 7th running of the Dark & White Autumn Trail Run Series – three rounds of classic trail running all in and around the Peak District National Park. There is a choice of a long (14-17km) or short (5-8km) course at each round. With both routes we aim to provide a course that offers a combination of high quality trail/off-road running and glorious autumnal Peak District scenery. 

From the gritty northern moorlands of the Dark Peak to the somewhat softer White Peak in the south with its stunning hills and limestone dales, the Peak District National Park in Autumn is an outstanding place to visit. The predominant greens of summer turn to an amazing array of autumn colours: orange, yellow, brown and purple. Add to this crystal clear hilltop views and miles & miles of footpaths, bridleways and byways through dales, over hills and moors plus through woods and forests all in quiet countryside then you have the perfect place to run.

Our trail run routes are all fully signed/arrowed plus we have generous cut off times both en-route and at the finish thus aiming to cater for all ages and abilities. So all you need to do to take part is get some basic running/outdoor gear, a pair of running shoes with good grip and most importantly a sense of adventure!
