Big Dipper Half Marathon

Dronfield, Derbyshire tick

£20.00 - £22.00

One of the hilliest and most scenic half marathons in the country

Taking in the Derbyshire countryside and the Peak District National Park, the route sees runners tackle 510m (1,675ft) of ascent. Starting near The Hyde Park Inn in Dronfield, The Big Dipper heads out towards Barlow, Shillito Woods and then climbs up and through the hamlet of Unthank, before returning back to Dronfield. The course is gruelling, hilly and has a sting in the tail but is equally rewarding with its stunning views and fabulous on-route support, and completing it puts you in a select group of privileged runners.
