What. There used to be a challenge race of 40 miles passing 4 Inns. Over the years all 4 Inns had closed and it became increasingly difficult to put on, so ceased to be in 2019. So in the spirit of that we thought we'd make a 4 Inns challenge in the style of Youlgrave Harriers, so more focus on the 4 Inns.
A social run to pay a visit to our pub run pubs all in 1 run. Taking in Miner's Standard (Winster), Druids (Birchover), Flying Childers (Stanton in Peak) and Lathkill Hotel (Over Haddon).
