Guided Trail Runs: A trail run where we'll take you on a tour of the area. Usually either away from the usual landmark area or a less used way of getting to the landmark. For all our Guided trail runs as long as you can jog the planned distance on the flat you'll be fine. These are social runs where we'll have walks up the hills and stay together. We operate an all is welcome policy on our 'Guided Trail' runs, there's no fees or membership etc required, just register you're coming via the google form LINK . All our past routes can be found on HERE.

Saturday 27TH June: The 4+ Inns Challenge (Youlgrave style)

When. Saturday 27TH June. 11:00

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).

Start/Meeting point: Outside the front of Youlgrave HQ (The George , Youlgrave).10:45 meet for a 11:00 start

Route: 11.5 mile / 1600 feet. Subject to change. 

GPX: HERE

We start from Youlgrave with a swift half for leg 1, a 4 mile run to Miners in Winster. We will have a little refreshment and its a short leg 2. Leg 2 is 1 and a bit mile to Druids in Birchover. We'll have a bag of crisps and more refreshment before leg 3. Leg 3 is 1.5mile in stanton moor to get to flying childers in stanton. Leg 4 is the last big push to get to Over Haddon, its 3miles but all downhill, apart from the uphill. A final stop at the Lathkill to admire the view and more refreshment. Its then the final push back to The George to recover and congratulate yourself on completing the 4 Inns Challange.

Facilities : 4 Inns.

Official Challenge Rules

1. Core Scoring: You score 1 Point per 1 Unit of alcohol consumed at any of the 4 official inns.

2. Guerilla Drinking Bonus (Extra Inns): If you break off the main line to visit an unofficial pub (e.g. nipping into the Red Lion while passing through Birchover), you earn 1.5 Points per 1 Unit consumed.

3. The "Left Behind" Penalty: The main group will keep running. If you go rogue to hit a bonus pub and fail to catch back up before the pack arrives at the next official pub, you lose 1 point for every minute you are late.
