This year, the Harriers coach trip will be to Matlock in Derbyshire to take part in the “Matlock –
Whitepeak” (or White Peak) Festival of Running. Each runner can choose whether to run the 10k or the
half-marathon distance. The race is generally undulating along the dales for the first sections, followed by a
three-stage descent toward the finish at High Peak Junction.
Non-runners welcome, the more we are, the better it is.
It is always a great day out, and the atmosphere is brilliant!
