We have a bunch of tough runners in our club. Recently Ian and Angie took on the Gallop. Fabulous time from Angie and second in her category.
Covering approximately 21 miles and 3000ft of ascent the course takes in the villages of Grindleford, Froggatt, Eyam, Great Longstone, Edensor and Baslow linking them together with paths, tracks and open moorland of the White Peak. Famous landmarks on the way round include the Riley Graves, Longstone moor, The Monsal trail and of course the stunning Chatsworth Park estate. The final high-level section along Baslow and Frogatt edges offers breath-taking views of the surrounding peak district.
They hope to run it again in March 2022. But then again we have our Wilmslow Running Festival March 20th.
