Fast Fitness Run Club Presents…

Three Shires Head from Gradbach

Sunday 11th October 2026

Join the Fast Fitness community for our next Peak District adventure as we take on the scenic Three Shires Head route from Gradbach.

Starting near the peaceful village of Gradbach, we’ll journey through open countryside, rugged moorland, riverside paths and classic Peak District scenery before reaching the famous Three Shires Head—the point where Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire meet. The area is best known for its historic stone packhorse bridge, flowing waterfalls and picturesque pools along the River Dane.

This circular hike offers the perfect mix of beautiful views, varied terrain and a rewarding challenge. Expect rocky paths, hills, streams and plenty of opportunities to stop, take in the scenery and capture some brilliant photos along the way.

Whether you regularly hike or you’re looking to try something new, this event is all about getting outdoors, moving together and enjoying a great day with a welcoming community.

🧊☕️ Powered by our very own Brummie & Brew so we'll be bringing them along and you'll be able to grab yourselves your favourite iced coffees and drinks of choice!
