Results Organiser
Monsal Mash forms part of the Limestone Series, a collection of fell races across Derbyshire and Staffordshire. Based at Monsal Head near Bakewell, the 9.5K race offers a demanding challenge through the Peak District National Park, combining fast trail running with steep, technical fell terrain.
The course has two contrasting halves, beginning with relatively flat running along Monsal Dale before heading directly up and down Fin Cop. The second half features rough ground, steep gradients and demanding descents, followed by a final climb to the finish at Monsal Head. With approximately 500 metres of ascent across just 9.5K, the route requires considerably more climbing than a conventional trail race of similar distance.
The event is licensed by the Fell Runners Association and held under FRA rules. Competitors must be at least 18 years old and carry mandatory safety equipment as specified by the organiser. GPS navigation devices and running poles are prohibited, while individual and team prizes recognise performances across several age categories.
