Maverick Peaks Merlin Trail Run

Description

In the heart of the Peak District, where mist curls over ancient moors and rugged hills roll endlessly toward the horizon, the Maverick Peaks Merlin Ultra invites trail runners to take on something extraordinary. This isn’t just a race—it’s a journey through the wild soul of the British countryside. Whether you choose the mighty ultra distance or a shorter yet no less spectacular route, each step promises immersion in raw, natural beauty and a test of your endurance, spirit, and resolve.

Starting from Bakewell Showground, runners are cast into a realm of winding trails, high ridgelines, and deep valleys. The routes take you through legendary places like Stanage Edge, Curbar, Froggatt, and the majestic Pennine Way, tracing paths carved by centuries and surrounded by breathtaking views. You’ll climb, descend, breathe in fresh hilltop air, and find your rhythm in landscapes where silence speaks and the terrain does the talking.

But it’s not just the scenery that sets this race apart. It’s the atmosphere—the community of runners, the grit in every footstep, the shared glances between strangers turned companions. Whether you’re chasing a finish line on a 10K or pushing through the edge on the ultra, the Maverick Peaks Merlin Ultra is a reminder that running is more than a sport—it’s a way to meet the wild, and to meet yourself.
