The Peak District National Park sets a limit of 200 participants on any event, for ecological reasons.  We fully support this, but it means just like the Peak Skyline that demand will oustrip supply. There are no waitlists. Once the places sell out you will have to try your luck next year.

• There are 100 places on the RaidLight Peak District 100® (PD100)
• There are 70 places on the RaidLight Peak District 50® (PD50)
• There are 30 places on the RaidLight Peak District Marathon (PDM)

Buxton, Derbyshire. The HQ is the well appointed Buxton Community School. We have also hosted the sell-out Peak Skyline from this venue for the last 8 years.

The excellent venue has two separate toilet and shower blocks and offers you a more comfortable location.

We have used Edale and Castleton in the past, but the lack of accomodation, lack of hard standing and free car parking, and severe overcrowding make these locations a poor ecological choice for a flagship Peak District event.  

In contrast Buxton is more easily accessible, has better transport links, has more accomodation options, the venue is close to the town centre with a multitude of places to eat.

Our Buxton venue has a large secure car park, and it costs nothing to park there.

Yes we are deploying premium GPS event tracking from Track Trail®

Track Trail is a next generation platform that provides highly accurate ETAs for arrival at all checkpoints. Google navigation is fully integrated so you support teams or you, can you use it to navigate to a checkpoint, or another runner.

There are checkpoints approximately every 10 miles on the 50 and 100 mile routes. The 100 mile course is a figure of 8 so you will get access to your bag at the 50 mile point.

If the event is cancelled by us, you will be offered a full refund of the face value ticket cost and merchandise. We are unable to refund the small booking fee charged by the ticket and credit card company.

There is no option to defer or cancel, but we give you full control to recover all of your entry costs. You are able to sell it via etchrock.com. There are no charges or loss of a % of your fee associated with this.

Merchandise is not refunded, but will be transferred, so you will have to sell that in a separate transaction outside of etchrock. Note that 14 weeks before the event, the sizes of tshirts can no longer be amended.

All events are open to anyone, but we recommend that you are an experienced ultra runner if you wish to take on a 100 mile distane.
