About Dark & White Challenge Events



Dark & White Challenge Events are Peak District based and specialise in organising a wide variety of challenging events:

Trailquests & Mountain Biking - mountain bike orienteering and navigation events - in liaison with the TCA (Trail Cyclists Association). Test both your mountain biking and navigational skills.

Mountain Marathons - from the annual Rab two day mountain challenge to our three hour mini-mountain marathons in and around the Peak District, these events will definitely test both your brains and your legs!

Challenge Walks & Fell Running - events organised in liaison with the FRA (Fell Runners Association) and the LDWA (Long Distance Walkers Association).
October sees the annual running of our very popular Hope Moors & Tors event in North Derbyshire - 2008 being the 10th anniversary.

Adventure Racing - multisport events of varying lengths - usually a combination of trail running, orienteering, mountain biking plus other challenges i.e. rope work, water sports, night navigation. Ideal for beginners or expert adventure racers.

High Peak Outdoor Activities - from corporate team building events to social weekends away; from bike hire in the Peak District to multi-activity events - HPOA can arrange it.

This website provides full information and a schedule of all ongoing events plus entry forms in an easily downloadable format. Event entries can be made on-line through our association with WorldPay and Nat West Streamline. The site also contains a complete archive of results from all previous events.
