Dursley Running Club’s infamous Peaks Race is a challenging off road running event that includes some of Dursley’s most testing climbs – Cam Peak, Cam Long Down, Uley Bury, and Downham Hill. The run rewards all runners with dramatic and expansive views of the surrounding countryside.

The race is 10.31km long with 318m of climb, the equivalent of a category B Fell Race!  If you like hilly races then this one is for you.
