Race Date: Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th September 2022
The Peak District Ultras are three races over one weekend, starting and finishing in Castleton.
The Millstone 100
This is a 100 mile route named after the giant millstones marking the entrance to the National Park. It is made up of two loops, each roughly 50 miles. The first loop starts on the Friday evening taking in some of the main landmarks of the Dark Peak north of Castleton. The second loop is south of Castleton in the White peak.
The Limestone 50
The 50 mile option is the second loop of the Millstone 100 through the limestone White Peak. It starts on the Saturday morning.
The Peveril 33
The 33 mile option shares the start time, first 16 and last 9 miles with the Limestone 50. In between is a climb out of Baslow with views back across the high edges of the eastern peak, and a traverse of Longstone Edge as the course descends to rejoin the longer routes at Monsal Head.
The cut-off finish time for all three races is 6am Sunday.
