The DCRO Dash is a fast, tough race over the hills south-west of Castleton in the Peak District of Derbyshire.

A major fund-raiser for DCRO, the route passes through some beautiful upland country sandwiched between the moors of the Dark Peak and the valleys of the White Peak … and some of the most severe and rewarding cave venues in the country, and will prove a strong challenge to runners of all abilities.

GPS devices: The FRA rules for competition have changed for 2021 and GPS navigational devices are no longer allowed for any races, but you may carry a GPS which will record your route for looking at later through, for example, Garmin or Strava.

Navigation and Safety: The race passes through several old mining areas and, because of this, the whole route is flagged and marshalled, and it is vital that all runners follow the flagged route.

No dogs on the race: spectators’ dogs must be on a leash.
