The Nine Edges Endurance 2009
You choose whether you walk, run, climb or bike the route. Hikers, runners & climbers all follow the same route, but climbers also climb a route of their choice on each of the 9 gritstone edges. Bikers take a slightly different route (as they obviously can’t go on footpaths!).
It is a 20 mile off road event with about 900 metres of height gain for walkers, runners and climbers, and about 38 miles roughly 60% off-road for mountain bikers with 1600 metres of ascent (and descent!).
The event starts at Fairholmes Car Parks, grid reference SK173894. It is a traverse from Fairholmes, over nine gritstone edges (namely, Derwent Edge, Stanage, Burbage North, Burbage South, Froggatt, Curbar, Baslow Edge, Gardoms and Birchens), to the Robin Hood pub near Baslow. Transport is provided back to the start.
