Saturday 23rd August 2025
Navigation Skills for Runners & Walkers
A day spent learning and practicing key skills for navigating on the move.
​A full day of learning navigation skills, including route planning, use of map and compass, technological aids, judging pace and distance, and mitigating risks.
After a short theoretical session, the majority of the day will be spent learning and practicing navigation out on the ground in a variety of terrain.
There will be maximum student to tutor ration of 6:1 to ensure everyone gets a high level of attention and has their own needs addressed.
The exact location, which will be somewhere in the Peak District, will be informed by where participants are travelling from, and will be confirmed a week prior to the event.
Price is £65 per person.
Note: we also run NNAS (National Navigation Award Scheme) courses at Bronze and Silver level which lead to an accredited qualification. This course can be done as an alternative to the Bronze course (without gaining the qualification) if you would like to go straight to the Silver (intermediate) level qualification.

Trail Therapy
Jog Derbyshire/Peak Running
Various dates
Thanks to a Forest Society Grant from the National Forest, Peak Running is running a series of free Trail Therapy sessions in the area. The sessions are all about benefitting from being outdoors in nature and the mental health boost this brings. You can choose from a running or walking option on most dates and there's no such thing as being too slow. The pace will always be relaxed with a focus on chatting and socialising, with plenty of stops for a breather and photos.
The Fractured Marathon
Taking a break in 2025
Calke Park
The Fractured Marathon is an exciting event for teams or solo runners of all abilities. The format creates a great atmosphere and is as much a Friday night running party as a race!
Based in the grounds of the spectacular Calke Abbey, the event will run for 5 hours from 7pm until midnight; going from sunlight to starlight.
There will be 10 timed laps around a scenic 2.6-mile course, which will start every half hour on the half hour.
Teams, or solo runners, can take part in as many or as few of the 10 laps as they like.
​
Teams can have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 runners, and be in the male, female or mixed category.
Brooksie's Bash
Peak Running.
Taking a break in 2025 Foremarke Hall
A trail race covering 10 country miles in a beautiful part of South Derbyshire. This is an inclusive event, with no specific time cut-off and we welcome people of all abilities. As long as you're making forward progress, walking or running, you're welcome at the Brooksie's Bash! ​

If you haven't taken part in an off-road event before it is a great opportunity to come and have a go in a friendly and supportive environment, where there aren't any time-limits.
Run for the Trees

Choose to complete 50, 100 or 200 miles over the month - walking or running - and you'll receive free access to virtual races and guided runs to help boost your miles. But the best thing is your entry will be supporting the National Forest - for every 200 miles completed, Peak Running will plant a tree and you'll receive a beautiful wooden award if you reach your target.
