Regular weekday morning off-road outings on scenic trails at a relaxed 'chatty' pace, starting at 9:45am. These sessions are as much about the mind as the body. They are a perfect way to de-stress and connect with nature in some beautiful green spaces, amongst a friendly and supportive group.

Sessions are delivered by our qualified and supportive team of leaders and are similar to our Trail Therapy sessions; we set a pace that is comfortable for everyone as the activities are more about enjoying the surroundings and the benefits to mental wellbeing than having a hard workout. Nobody ever gets left behind.

This session which explores the wonderful trails around Ticknall and Robin Wood have the option of relaxed chatty paced jog covering 6.2-miles or a walk of 5-miles.

Another Saturday afternoon jaunt with the #TrailTherapy gang, this time exploring the trails around Thulston and Elvaston.

As well as being possibly the flattest route that Lindsey will ever plan, you'll be treated to some lovely trails, a big dollop of nature and some man made historical sights. And what's even better it's based from a great pub, where there will be an opportunity to quench your thirst afterwards.

Our #trailtherapy events are guided by our friendly and supportive team of leaders. We set a pace that is comfortable for everyone as the activities are more about enjoying the surroundings and the benefits to mental wellbeing than having a hard workout. Nobody ever gets left behind.

As per our tradition when there are five Thursday's in the month, this week's bRUNch Club is a 'special' event at a venue that is different to our normal circuit. And we're delighted that this one will be extra special!

Derbyshire Wildlife Trust have invited us to join them at Allestree Park in Derby, which, as well as being a beautiful setting anyway, is home to a community rewilding project - the largest of its type in the UK.

What's more, with the help of their Wellbeing Officer, Kirsty, we'll be incorporating some 'nature connection' activities into our run/rike.

And afterwards we'll be relaxing in the park and learning more about the work there over some refreshments. With offerings of home made baking etc. that participants would like to bring being more than welcome :-) )

As always, these sessions are as much about the mind as the body. They are a perfect way to de-stress and connect with nature in some beautiful green spaces, amongst a friendly and supportive group.

Join us on this exciting day trip to climb some of the highest mountains in Wales.

We'll be travelling by minibus from the Derby area (with possible pick-ups en-route) to Bethesda to enjoy a spectacular hike in the Carneddau range, the largest upland area in the UK outside of Scotland. And one our most favourite areas.

Our aim is to tackle at least 4 of the Welsh 3000ft summits on a high level circuit which explores this relatively quiet part of the National Park, and has breathtaking views of both mountains and coastline.

The nature of the area means that there will be some strenuous climbs, steep gradients and challenging underfoot conditions. But our objective is to appreciate the beauty of this spectacular area, and send you home with a memorable experience and - hopefully - increased confidence for future adventures.

Along the way our experienced Mountain Leaders will be sharing lots of knowledge and tips, and teaching you new skills for exploring the hills and mountains - whether you're a pure hiker or aspiring mountain/fell runner.

As with any trip to the mountains, our ability to do the exact route may be influenced by the weather conditions on the day.

If you have any questions before signing up, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Our email address is info@peakrunning.co.uk

This is the third of our series of 'Away Day Wednesdays' this summer.

We'll be heading out from the Derby area on the minibus to enjoy a relaxed 'rike' (mostly walking but jogging some of the easy bits) around the spectacular Dovestones reservoir and the Saddleworth moors. Followed by an opportunity to grab a drink and bite in a local establishment to replenish ourselves.

Full joining information will be provided to those booked by email, including exact meeting locations/pick-up points.

A full day of learning navigation skills, including route planning, use of map and compass, technological aids, judging pace and distance, and mitigating risks.

After a short theoretical session, the majority of the day will be spent learning and practicing navigation out on the ground in a variety of terrain.

There will be maximum student to tutor ration of 6:1 to ensure everyone gets a high level of attention and has their own needs addressed.

The exact location, which will be somewhere in the Peak District, will be informed by where participants are travelling from, and will be confirmed a week prior to the event.

Price is £65 per person.

Note: we also run NNAS (National Navigation Award Scheme) courses at Bronze and Silver level which lead to an accredited qualification. This course can be done as an alternative to the Bronze course (without gaining the qualification) if you would like to go straight to the Silver (intermediate) level qualification.

Join us on this exciting weekend of adventures in the spectacular mountains of the Lake District.

We'll be travelling up to our base in Langdale on the Friday evening (10th October) to make the most of the weekend, with two days of activities on the Saturday and Sunday. Returning home in the late afternoon on Sunday.

The trip includes:
- Two days of fully guided hiking adventures with our experienced team of qualified Mountain Leaders.
- Travel by mini-bus from the Derby area (possible pick-up points en-route)
- 2-nights accommodation in private dormitories in a comfortable hostel.

As participant numbers are limited to 12, the exact itinerary will be influenced by the desires of the group. However, we hope to include:
- An ascent of Helvellyn - one of only 4 mountains over 3000 feet high in England.
- Two or more of the Wainwright summits in Langdale - an area described by Wainwright himself as "one of the loveliest in Lakeland".

While the nature of the area means that there will be some strenuous climbs, steep gradients and challenging underfoot conditions, we're not out to just bag as many summits as possible.

Our objective is to immerse you in the beauty of this truly spectacular area, show you some lesser known gems and send you home with a wealth of memorable experiences and - hopefully - increased confidence for future adventures.

Along the way and during our evening downtime we'll be sharing lots of knowledge and tips, and teaching you new skills for exploring the hills and mountains - whether you're a pure hiker or aspiring mountain/fell runner.

It's a fun personal challenge event for runners and walkers to keep you active during the cold, dark days of the shortest month. Can be done local to home and the more miles that are run the more new trees will be planted In the National Forest. So it could be the most carbon positive event you’ll ever do.

Now in it's fifth year, this event once again promises to be a challenging, fun adventure for all that take part, whether you're a walker or a runner, everyone is in for a splendid adventure in the Peak District!
