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, navigation and forest based enduro events in liaison with British Mountain Bike Orienteering (BMBO) (British Mountain Bike Orienteering). Test both your mountain biking and navigational skills.

Mountain Marathons - from the annual autumn 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) October sees the annual running of the Hope Moors & Tors event in the Dark Peak (8.5 & 20 mile route options) whilst early August is the time for the Long Tour of Bradwell, a tough 31 mile run with 6300' of climb which is a round of the Run Further/Vasque Ultra-Running Championships.

Adventure Racing - our popular DW4 events are Peak District based and four hours long primarily being a combination of trail running, orienteering, mountain biking plus at times other mystery challenges i.e. rope work, water sports, night navigation. Ideal for beginners or expert adventure racers.

This website provides full information and a schedule of all ongoing events plus information/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.
