CCLG's Big Hike

CCLG's Big Hike is a half marathon hike in the stunning Peak District National Park, taking you on a beautiful 13.1 mile circular route, starting and ending in Hartington.

The CCLG Big Hike takes place on Saturday 20th September 2025.

This Peak District Charity hike will take you on a beautiful circular route, starting and ending in Hartington.

From Hartington, we’ll head south along the River Dove to our first checkpoint in Alstonefield. From here, we head west to our second checkpoint and lunch stop in Wetton. For the third  leg of the trek, we head north along the River Manifold and over Ecton Hill before our third checkpoint at Hulme End. The home stretch will then return us to Hartington for a well-earned glass of fizz, medal and celebration!

You'll be supported throughout the day by the CCLG team, who will provide refreshments throughout the day, lunch, medical support and hot food at the finish line. You'll also get support with your fundraising, including fundraising materals and a Big Hike t-shirt.
