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 now firmly established annual autumn Rab two day mountain challenge to our RaceKit sponsored three hour mini-mountain marathons in and around the Peak District, plus new for 2012 the Rab Mini-MM National Series for 2012 in Northern England these events will very definitely test both your brains and your legs!

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 Ultra-Running Championships.
