(1)About Running in Derbyshire on Verus
Verus tracks 14 races across Derbyshire at 5 different distances — 10 ultra marathons, 1 half marathon, 1 10K, 1 5K and 1 marathon. Few counties give you that much choice of what to actually run.
Racing here runs more or less year round — there is something on in 8 months of the twelve, with September the busiest. That makes Derbyshire unusually easy to build a season around, because you are rarely more than a few weeks from a start line.
Terrain varies more than a single figure for Derbyshire suggests. Of the 6 races here that publish an elevation figure, High Peak 40 is the flattest at 5,800ft of climb and Montane Summer Spine Race the hilliest at 35,210ft — a difference large enough to change what a target time means.
Derbyshire also has 12 parkruns running every Saturday, free to enter — the weekly habit that sits underneath the race calendar above rather than competing with it.
