Location
Directions
Race HQ: Bakewell Station, Bakewell, Derbyshire DE45 1GE
By Car: The race starts and finishes at Bakewell Station. Please note there is no car parking at the station other than for disabled motorists. The road to the station is a no-through road with nowhere to turn around, so unfortunately runners can’t be dropped off.
There are plenty of parking options in Bakewell town centre, where two large pay-and-display car parks are around 500 metres from the station.
You can also park a mile or so along the trail at Hassop Station, which has spectator facilities and an excellent café. It makes a pleasant warm-up jog to the start, and a perfect cosy spot for supporters.
