DEVASTATED!!  COVID19 FORCES POSTPONEMENT OF THIS EVENT

Please bear with us for news no a new date.

So you think you are the best descender in the field, well prove it. Each stage is between 1 and 2km in length of mostly descending on the brilliant flowing single tracks of Buxton. We wont be using the Cathedral trail so NO full face helmets are needed.   Its about flow and skill.

Each stage finishes at the race village giving you a chance to eat, drink and chat with your mates about your run before heading back off into the trails to reach the start of the next stage.
