Important Update: Weather & Route Changes

We hope you are excited for tomorrow’s trail running adventure in the Peak District! However, as you may have seen, the great British weather has decided to throw in an extra little challenge (again!) - cold temperatures, rain, possibly snow and - most crucially - the potential for some proper Peak District fog. While we love a challenging trail run, we also have to be realistic.

The event is currently still going ahead but with some changes..

Marathon and Ultra Marathon runners:

Instead of the full-distance routes, you will now be running laps / part laps of the Half Marathon course.

This decision is based on safety: the furthest sections of the full routes are high, exposed, very susceptible to fog and have only one extraction point over a 10 mile stretch - not ideal when visibility could be very poor.

10K and Half routes will remain unchanged.

Why we are deciding now

We're making this call now for two reasons:

Although we can never be 100% sure, we feel it is 'highly likely' that it will be cold and wet / snow with significant risks of fog over the higher ground.

We don’t want to add stress on your event morning by throwing last-minute changes at you. This way, you can plan properly and come prepared.

Could there be further changes to the event?

This should not be ruled out but at this point in time we feel confident that these plans are appropriate.

What do I need to do in light of these changes?

Nothing specifically. Please arrive as per the timetable in the participant manual and the information you have received via email from us previously. If you are an Ultra or Marathon runner then we will explain how to navigate the revised routes on the start line.

Where can I find the specifics of the changed Ultra and Marathon routes?

NB: The published routes on the website will not be updated. Details of the new (contingency) routes are as follows:

Ultra Marathon:

Two laps of the half marathon followed by the 10K route.

Total distance 31.5 miles.

Cut off at 25.7 miles at 15:30 hrs.

Marathon:

Two laps of the half marathon.

Total distance 26.1 miles.

Cut off at 13.3 miles at 12:00 hrs.

Thanks for your understanding

We know some of you may be disappointed by the route changes but we are certain that what is on offer will still be a tough and challenging day out!

Finally, it goes without saying that 'layering up' will be the order of the day – the windchill will be significant, so bring appropriate cold-weather gear. We are not currently planning to make changes to the mandatory kit.

We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to see you all at the start line tomorrow!

As always, please return here to check for further updates - particularly before you set off for the event in the morning.

Changes to the Ultra distance schedule:

The Ultra will now follow the same timetable (including start time) of the Marathon. This is 30 minutes later than was previously published. The schedule for the Ultra & Marathon is as follows: Parking : 0730 - 0815, Briefing : 0820, Mass-start : 0830

Due to this there has also been a corresponding change to the Ultra distance cut-off. Please see the Participant manual (page 11) for full details.

Special notice for participants who have participated in a previous Endurancelife event:

We’re thrilled to welcome you back for another season of unforgettable trail running! As we gear up for 2024-25, we’ve made a small but important change that we wanted to make clear to you.

This season, we’ve decided to streamline the events by removing complimentary t-shirts from most events - including this one. This change allows us to keep event entry prices affordable—something we feel is important. To give you an idea, since 2018, the entry fee for a 10K has only increased by £2, despite significant rising costs. Thanks to improved efficiencies, we’ve been able to keep this increase minimal, ensuring you continue to get good value.

But don’t worry—you will still have the opportunity to grab an Endurancelife t-shirt (or other awesome event merchandise) at a heavily discounted price during Check-in. We hope you’ll take advantage of this great offer and wear your Endurancelife gear with pride!
