About this race

The Monsal Trail October Half Marathon & 10k Weekend, organised by Nice Work, takes place in the picturesque town of Bakewell, Derbyshire, UK on Saturday, 24th October 2026. This event, designated as "Event Type: 2" which likely signifies a running race of medium to large scale, offers runners the choice of a challenging half marathon or a 10k distance. While specific historical details for this exact date aren't provided, Nice Work events typically have a strong following and are known for their well-organised and scenic routes. Participants can anticipate a weekend experience focused on running, with potential for a friendly atmosphere and a chance to enjoy the autumnal beauty of the Peak District. The Monsal Trail itself is renowned for its unique terrain. Runners can expect a largely flat and fast course, primarily run on a disused railway line. This means the path is well-surfaced and free of significant inclines, making it ideal for achieving personal bests. However, sections may include the historic railway tunnels which can add a unique, atmospheric element to the run. The Derbyshire countryside provides a stunning backdrop, with rolling hills and vibrant autumnal foliage expected to be in full display in October, offering a memorable and visually appealing race experience.
