Tigger Tor

The race is based at the Norfolk Arms in Ringinglow, and the start and finish are along Houndkirk Road (the roman road). As a result the whole of the course is now on off-road tracks and fell. The race involves reaching 11 checkpoints in order via an un-marked route over Houndkirk Moor, Burbage Moor and Hathersage Moor. Landmarks include Burbage Edge, Higger Tor, Winyards Nick, Toad’s Mouth (at the top of Padley Gorge near Fox House) Carl Wark & Houndkirk Hill providing some of the most beautiful scenery the Peak District has to offer. On race day we will have exclusive use of the Norfolk Arms heated marquee for registration and results. The rest of the pub will be open for  food and refreshments before and after the race. The Tigger Tor race is not only a relatively ‘tough’ fell race with some difficult terrain, but it is also subject to the winter weather. Temperatures on the day have regularly been well below zero on the moors and this is even before the effects of the wind chill. The course is unmarked so there is also an element of navigating using a map and compass. In line with FRA policy no electronic navigation devices are allowed to be used (for instance phone apps, GPS watches that can follow a GPX track), except for recording and emergency purposes. Therefore, those with no prior fell running experience are STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from entering. If you have any doubts, please get in touch first with any questions.
