The Edgy Trail Run | 25K

The run starts from Longshaw visitor centre and heads out on either the southern loop before returning to Longshaw and heading out north (or vice versa). The finish is back at Longshaw. This figure of eight run enables participants to do just the first half (approximately 13km) or the full route (approximately 25km). Of the two loops the southern section is the least technical and probably most suited to beginner trail runners. The climbs and descents are modest and the obstacles are few. The biggest factor will always be the weather as you move from the woodland to the higher ground. The northern loop is the gnarlier section. There'll be some superb views from the high ground of Higger Tor and the iron age walls of Carl Wark before heading out in the direction of Millstone Edge. This will be a sociable run with an emphasis on soaking up the views at a relaxed pace and moving safely through the rocky sections.
