Beast of Bamford is a new race for the winter season.  The bat-shaped route is an anticlockwise tour of the beautiful Hope Valley skyline surrounding the village of Bamford in the Peak District.  Highlights include running across Bamford Moor, along Bamford Edge, past Ladybower plug holes, over Win Hill and finishing at the Recreation Ground amongst the treats of the Christmas Market.
