Calling all volunteers!

As we approach September and a year to go until the 2024 High Peak 40, it is time to start the call for volunteers. We’ve already had many people reach out to offer their help in getting the race up and running again, thank you everyone! However we are in need of more. If you could support a checkpoint or passage control, or at race control, as a sweeper, or any one of many other roles please let us know.

2014 Results Now Available

After a busy month we’re now back to uploading the results and now have the results for 2014 added to the site. As before we include the original 2014 results booklet and a checkpoints files provided by Nick Ham (thanks Nick!). You’ll note that we have some data missing from the results for the non-finishers. Where possible this has been filled in through looking at available documents like old entries lists but everything needed wasn’t available.

2015 Results Now Available

We now have the results for 2015 added to the site. As before we include the original 2015 results booklet and checkpoints files. You’ll note that we have some data missing from the results for the non-finishers. Where possible this has been filled in through looking at available documents like old entries lists but everything needed wasn’t available. If you know where to source that missing data, or are the one of those missing entrants, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

2016 Results Now Available

I’m happy to announce that the first of the results pages are up, bringing you the results from the 2016 edition. This has taken some time as I’ve had to find ways of getting the data out of the original booklet PDFs and into a spreadsheet format. Unfortunately this does take some time, with some formats easier than others, so adding more will be a steady drop over the coming weeks and months.

Save The Date

Saturday September 14th 2024! That will be the date of the next edition of the High Peak 40. After much consideration we decided on 2024 as giving us enough time to get everything in place to make the next iteration as successful as possible. There are likely to still be some changes to the overall organisation to get it back up and running but with around 18 months to go, we have every chance of resurrecting this race.

A Brand New Website!

Hello everyone and welcome to the new website for the High Peak 40. It’s a little bare bones at the moment but we’ll be adding a tonne of new content, updates, and memories of previous editions of the race.
