We look forward to welcoming you at Newfield Secondary School for The Cat Lane Canter 2026. The course, described as "brilliant, brutal, breathtaking", takes runners along undulating footpaths around the bluebell carpeted woodlands between the Newfield School and Cat Lane. If it’s wet, you will get muddy! 

With roughly 5k and 10k options* There's something for everyone whether you’re looking to complete your first 5k or are a seasoned trail/fell runner looking to take on some exciting terrain without needing to drive out to the Peak District. There will also be a fun run for all ages (£2 entry on the day only).
*The course may come out as shorter than 5km/10km on some smart watches/smart phones, however what you lose in distance is made up for in hills!
