Regularly features in the Runner's World top 10 UK trail races.
The Tissington Trail Half Marathon has established itself as a real favourite with runners, often selling out months in advance and we hold this race on two dates across one weekend to accommodate as many runners as possible. We're proud that the race regularly features in the Runner's World top 10 UK trail races.
The Tissington Trail, the site of a former railway line from Ashbourne to Buxton, runs along a 13 mile route from Parsley Hay to Ashbourne in Derbyshire. Surrounded by beautiful countryside the traffic-free trail is ideal for a cracking half marathon and because the route is slightly downhill all the way, you've got gravity on your side! This is a rare opportunity to run a half marathon in Derbyshire without hills!
To accommodate demand, this event will be held across two dates in one weekend. Enter soon to secure your start line place.
This event is part of Tissington Trail Half Marathon Weekend.
Trail shoes are recommended for this race, if you have them and especially if it has been muddy. But, your normal running shoes will also be fine; please just watch out for slippery surfaces.
