Carsington Water Half Marathon & 10k February

About this event

Set around the scenic Carsington Water reservoir in the Derbyshire Dales, this Valentine's Day race offers runners a choice of two distances on traffic-free paths. The half marathon and 10km routes follow the reservoir's perimeter, taking in views across the water and surrounding Peak District countryside. February racing here means crisp air and dramatic winter skies, with the terrain staying relatively gentle throughout — it's proper road running without the hills that often dominate Peak District events. The 10km makes a solid introduction to reservoir racing, while the half marathon provides a steady challenge without technical demands. Both routes benefit from the sheltered nature of running beside water, making this a winter race that feels manageable even when conditions turn blustery.
