Based on our popular Snow Moon and Hunter's Moon half marathon courses, the Pink Moon differs in that it's for the ladies only. 

This trail half marathon heralds the rising of The Pink Moon (the name given to the full moon in April). You will welcome the Pink Moon by running out and back on this challenging but scenic route (expect to be 20 - 30 minutes longer than your usual half marathon time). Starting at 4pm from Race HQ at Rock Lane in Sutton Scarsdale, you run through Sutton Spring Wood and then climb to the Five Pits Trail, making sure to soak up the views as you go. The route will then undulate before reaching the turning loop where there will be an aid station catering for your needs.

Running back the way you came, you will receive a warm welcome at the finish where you will receive your medal and you can relax and reflect on your achievement with complementary cake and hot drinks by the campfire!

There will be additional marshals wearing hi viz along the course and in Sutton Springs Wood and they'll be waving glow sticks to guide you to the finish.

There will be a tail runner sweeping the course to ensure everyone is back by 7pm.

Free car parking and toilets are available at the Race HQ and the nearby lane.

The race has a 3hr30 time limit. (This includes an optional 30 minute earlier start for slower athletes or for athletes who don't want to run through dusk/in the dark.)

The Pink Moon race will raise funds for the local Women's Aid charity, The Elm Foundation

(The race follows the same route as the popular Lunar Trail half marathon races - see the Racecheck reviews of our recent Black Moon Rising race for an insight into what participants thought.)
