Lace up for the Mam Tor and The Great Ridge Circular, a difficult jogging route that promises expansive views across the Hope and Edale Valleys. This 8.0-mile (12.9 km) trail challenges you with 1171 feet (357 metres) of elevation gain, taking about 1 hour and 33 minutes to complete. You will navigate a mix of well-maintained paths, stony sections, and numerous steps, especially as you ascend towards Mam Tor Summit, making for a truly engaging workout.
When planning your visit, be aware that parking near the trailhead can become very busy, particularly on clear days and weekends. The route's exposed nature along the ridge means you should check the weather forecast for strong winds before you go, as conditions can change quickly. Prepare for steep, stepped ascents and descents that add to the difficulty, ensuring you are ready for a demanding jog.
This route is renowned for its iconic Great Ridge, offering a continuous visual spectacle. You will also encounter the unique 'Broken Road,' a former highway that now reveals layers of tarmac and gravel, showcasing the area's geological history. The trail provides a fantastic opportunity to experience the dramatic landscapes of the Peak District, making it a standout choice for advanced trail runners seeking a memorable challenge.
