How to get here

A key area that can have a positive effect on both the carbon footprint of the event and the local community itself, is by considering modes of transport to and from the Hope Valley.

The village of Hathersage is very well served by public transport, including both train and bus routes and details of these are given below. Alternatively, for those competitors who must drive to reach the event, please do consider if it is possible to share a lift with others.

For those wanting to travel by public transport, we have changing facilities and safe storage for your belongings.

Please do consider not bringing the car!  There’s some helpful links below

Please note for those with dogs, they are not allowed on the start and finish field or anywhere on the course.  thank you.

For those who came last year when we lost access to the parking field, we had very few people turn up in cars so it is possible for the majority to enjoy the event minus the car.

Backup plan

Should the field we usually use for parking at the start become too waterlogged, we will have to make alternative arrangements.   We will of course send full details should this be needed. Please do consider the train either way, the run couldn’t be better located for that.

Lift Share

We were hoping this year to set up a lift share via a free website however, this simply doesn’t work and I have been unable to get support.  Therefore if anyone wishes to seek lift sharing, please use the facebook page to see if anyone is available.  Be safe when sharing and make sure you are happy to give out your contact details, or meet somewhere neutral to be sure.
