Ultra fun running was born in April 2023:

The Peak Divide is the answer to a question raised in a pub;'Do you think we could run from Manchester to Sheffield?'⁠

Peak Divide is resolutely not a race.
Is 90% off-road.
Has a 96% finisher rate.
Promotes inclusion (2023: 5-10kph pacing range / 45% women / 20% non-white).

Both the Peak Divide and the Lakes Divide are organised & produced by Stef, Tom, Luke & Peat.

2024:

The Lakes Divide is an idea born out of the answer to a question raised in a pub.

A natural progression from journeying across the National Park we get to call home, the evolution of the divide series took us to a place we knew had an the ingredients for a special slow adventure on foot. Water, relief, foot ferries, plunge pools and Beatrix Potter.

More town to town than city to city but still resolutely not a race - we’re excited to host you on this one.

So run along now, and don’t get up to mischief.
