The venue is the picturesque area around the village of Thorpe near Ashbourne and Dovedale in the south of the Derbyshire Peak District.
Imagine 1,500 runners ready for the start in a wide starting line and absolutely going for it to get first through narrow Lin dale to at the bottom cross the famous river Dove at the well known Stepping stones!
The remainder of the course is mainly along field paths and open ground in the valleys of the river Dove and Manifold. A tough finish at the end going up Lin dale.
There is also a U12 children's race at 10 am - only entry on the day.
