About This Event

The Peak Raid Race 1 Hayfield is set for Sunday, 20 September 2026, with the start line in the picturesque village of Hayfield, nestled in the Peak District near Buxton. This fell running event challenges participants to navigate their own route across the region’s hills, moors, and dales, allowing each runner to determine the level of difficulty they wish to tackle. Rather than prioritising sheer speed, the race places a premium on sound route choice and competent navigation skills, making it accessible to a broad spectrum of abilities. A diverse field of runners is expected to take part, and the exact entry fee is available on the event’s official website. The venue itself is Hayfield, with the surrounding countryside forming the demanding yet rewarding course. Competitors must be prepared to read the terrain and make strategic decisions as they traverse the open landscape, ensuring that success depends as much on mental acuity as on physical endurance. This event promises a true test of fell running prowess in one of England’s most celebrated national parks.
