Dronfield Running Club invites the bravest of hill-seekers to take on one of the toughest half marathon road races in the country.
The Big Dipper has a fearsome reputation. A reputation that is well deserved.

There's been lots of DRC runners doing epic things in London today and doing the club proud, but a special shout out has to go out to Michael Kenyon (pictured running not in London) who has blown our socks off by running 02:24:49 on his marathon debut. 😳
THANK YOU to the 600 of you who gave us your thoughts on a junior parkrun event at Sindelfingen Park. There was an amazing 99.5% approval rating.
Now, we hope the council listen to what you have to say.

We are proposing a weekly junior parkrun at Sindelfingen Park - but the council has denied the request.
We are now gathering your thoughts about the event - which aims to get kids aged 4-14 active. You can read more about our plans here:

Right, twitter friends - let's get some numbers on this post for one last big push on @TheBigDipperRun entries.
It's got climbs, long rolling descents, stunning views across the Peak District, a pub at the finish and the friendliest vibe going.

Slow hand clap for @LondonMarathon for their decision to reduce club allocations by ~25%
Down from 1,980 to 1,515, most clubs allocations cut, some now needing to enter a ballot.
An excellent way to support and promote the life blood of the sport. 🙄
