DARE TO RIDE?

Race paused...

After much reflection and number crunching, the decision has been made to pause the Big Dipper. 

​

As much as we love putting on the event, sadly it's just not feasible for the race to continue in its current format. 

​

Dronfield Running Club are currently looking at ways to expand their race offering, so keep an eye on their socials for future events in S18.

Thank you all for your support over the years and daring to ride, we couldn't have done it without you.

the route.

Starting at The Hyde Park Inn at the aptly named 'hill top' area of Dronfield, The Big Dipper heads out through the village of Barlow towards Shillito Woods and then climbs up and through the hamlet of Unthank, before heading back into barlow and skirting the edge of holmesfield.

​

THE RACE TAKES PLACE ON CLOSED ROADS SURROUNDED BY STUNNING COUNTRYSIDE VISTAS and beautiful countryside.

​

expecting a sprint finish? think again. there's a sting in the tail AS RUNNERS HEAD uphill back to the hyde park INN for a well earned refreshment.
