The 10th Tissington Trail Half Marathon - Saturday - Adult Half Marathon - Saturday

The 10th Tissington Trail Half Marathon, held on Saturday, September 24th, 2022, in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, is a popular fixture for adult runners. This event marked a significant milestone, celebrating a decade of bringing runners to the scenic Tissington Trail. Participants can expect a well-organized race focused on a challenging yet rewarding half marathon experience within the picturesque Derbyshire Dales. The Tissington Trail itself is a disused railway line, meaning the course is predominantly flat and traffic-free, offering an ideal environment for achieving personal bests. Runners will primarily encounter a crushed limestone surface, which is generally firm and suitable for road shoes. While the trail is largely sheltered by mature trees, participants should be prepared for typical September weather conditions in the Peak District, which can include sunshine, wind, and potential rain, making a good degree of adaptability in gear advisable. The serene countryside setting, with its rolling hills and charming villages visible from the trail, provides a beautiful backdrop to the race, making it a memorable experience beyond just the running itself.
