Organised by RunThrough, the Derby Running Festival takes place at Elvaston Castle Country Park in Derbyshire. The event features 5K, 10K and Half Marathon races, giving runners the chance to compete in the grounds of the Grade II listed estate and enjoy a summer festival atmosphere.
The courses follow flat multi terrain routes using a mixture of trail, tarmac and footpaths through the castle grounds. Runners pass the historic hall and famous Golden Gates, with the Half Marathon completing four laps plus a short out and back section, while the 10K and 5K use shorter lap formats.
The event includes chip timing, free race photos, a themed finisher medal, post race goodies and support from marshals around the course. With a scenic venue, accessible routes and a well organised RunThrough format, Derby Running Festival offers a welcoming race experience for runners of all levels.
