Introducing the DEMI, our demi-divide options.
In 2027 - for the fifth edition of PD - we’re offering the chance to join the CLASSIC Convoy for just one of the days, and the overnight in Edale.
Maybe you're trail or shuffle-curious, but can’t make the full Divide weekend, you want to split the weekend’s running with a friend or family, or our couch to 76km programme is a tad much to take on? We hear you - the DEMI is for you.
Two DEMI-DIVIDE options on the Peak Divide CLASSIC Weekend
SATURDAY DEMI | 42.3km | +920m -700m
Leave Manchester as the PD convoy, along the canals, through the hinterlands, dining at Gnocchi gap before taking on Kinder, Mount Malibu and dropping into Edale. Rest up, enter the egg and spork champs, stay the night and after breakfast, do what you want on Sunday.
SUNDAY DEMI | 35.5KM | +770m -940m
Join the Edale overnight, then after breakie and a rousing rendition of Manchester Rambler, start your Peak Divide by heading back up onto Kinder, over Win Hill and along the Edges before dropping down into Sheffield for the finishers’ party.
To be clear, the DEMIs include the overnight camp at Edale - whether you’re staying after running with the convoy on day one, or joining the journey for day two.
We started Peak Divide as a stepping stone into the world of ultra distance running and after four years of witnessing people journey further than they thought they could, we also understood that even with our accessible approach, it’s still a big undertaking - physically, time and cost wise. That’s why we’re adding the DEMI entry - as a way for more people to join, shuffle and be part of the overnight experience.
This could be for several reasons: wanting to share with a partner so you can split child care, needing to be somewhere important on one of the days, wanting an intro to trail running as part of a group of pals that all have different experiences and shuffling capacities.
Both days have their charms and characteristics, such is the variety of the Peak crossing, we are interested to see which option gets the most uptake and what it does for the dynamic of the convoy.
