Tissington Trail Half Marathon

Description

​Imagine yourself gliding along a serene, traffic-free trail, surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of the Derbyshire Dales. The Tissington Trail Half Marathon offers this unique experience, guiding runners from Parsley Hay to Ashbourne along a gently descending former railway line. This slight downhill gradient provides an excellent opportunity for both seasoned runners aiming for a personal best and newcomers seeking an approachable yet rewarding challenge.​

The course unfolds along the Tissington Trail, a 13-mile stretch that once served as a railway line connecting Ashbourne to Buxton. Now repurposed as a haven for runners, cyclists, and walkers, the trail offers expansive views of the surrounding countryside, immersing participants in the natural beauty of the region. The race's point-to-point format adds to the adventure, with participants transported from the race headquarters in Ashbourne to the starting point at Parsley Hay. From there, runners embark on their journey back to Ashbourne, propelled by the supportive atmosphere and the allure of the scenic route.​

Organized by Nice Work, the event is renowned for its friendly and welcoming environment. Each finisher is rewarded with a bespoke medal, and the event offers free photographs to commemorate the achievement. Trophies and prizes await the leading runners, adding a competitive edge to this picturesque race.​

Whether you're drawn by the promise of a fast, slightly downhill course, the charm of the Derbyshire countryside, or the camaraderie of fellow runners, the Tissington Trail Half Marathon promises an unforgettable running experience.
