Baslow Boot Bash 7th June 2025
The Baslow Boot Bash took place for the first time in the summer of 2005. Following its success on that occasion, it has now become an annual event. The 14 and 26 mile routes wind their way through the beautiful scenery of the Peak District National Park and is open to both walkers and runners. The Baslow Boot Bash raises funds for Baslow Choir, helping it to use professional singers and musicians to enhance its performances.
There are two routes on the day, a 26 and a 14 miles which can be run or walked.
The 26 mile route is in the White Peak of Derbyshire with views of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall and the beautiful scenery of the Derbyshire Dales. Starting in the village of Baslow and wandering through Chatsworth Park, Over Haddon, Sheldon, Monsal Dale, Cressbrook Dale, Foolow, Eyam, Froggatt and Calver, then returning to Baslow.
An alternative 14 mile route adjoins the 26 mile route as far as the first checkpoint and then heads towards Bakewell via the Monsal trail before heading north to Rowland and Longstone edge. The route then heads east and then south to the final checkpoint before the final two miles into Baslow and the finish.
