The Whisky, Gin & Rum Trail Run

The Whisky, Gin & Rum Trail is a Derbyshire adventure. Beginning at White Peak Distillery, both routes (7k or 14k) have been carefully designed to provide an enjoyable variety of running for participants both experienced and new, exploring some of the finest locations for wildlife and natural features in England, with historic canal towpaths and ancient woodland to enjoy.

Waiting for you back at the distillery will be complimentary samples of the handcrafted spirits made in Derbyshire, along with a 5cl bottle of Wire Works Whisky for you to enjoy or exhange for a discount on a bottle of your choice.

Q1. Is trail running like fell running? Sort of, but trail running is less focused on steep hills. You can find some flat(ish) trail races

Q2. Are there a lot of kit requirements? Every race is different, some would only require a pair of trail shoes while others will require you to carry water, an emergency blanket, wet weather gear or similar. Each event will tell you what is expected on their site. All this kit can be expensive, but there is A LOT of nearly new kit on sites like @vinted and repairing kit has never been cooler. You can fix holes in shoes, replace zips and even reproof waterproof coats at events like our Run & Repair sessions

Q3. Are all trail races long distances? Nope. You'll find everything from 5km to ultra distances. For example, our events have a short route which will be around 4-5 miles

Q4. Do I need to be able to navigate? Some events will require you to, but most don't. There will be signs, flags and marshals out on course to guide you around.
