Ricky's Race

THREE STAGS HEADS - USUALLY 2ND WEEK OF AUGUST
STARTS 19:00
Route Description

The course is a fairly tough 5 miles with 700 feet of ascent. It starts on the minor road from Darley Bridge which goes up to Stanton but the race leaves the road after only 100 yards. It ascends through Clough Wood and returns by a parallel route to dip down a footpath by a ruined tennis court and then back up the other side of the valley to emerge at Cross Green. It then takes the direct route up Oker Hill via the Trig Point and along the ridge passing the famous Oker Tree before descending the side of the hillside to finish in a field approximately 200 yards from the Three Stags Heads.
