The route of Thessalian Argrafa, in unknown Greece, through wild mountains.

The longest of the 3 Wild Peak Rounds (with a 15km and 55km as well) - conceived by the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust and supported by SUMMAT and INOV8. Starting and finishing at the INOV8 store in Bakewell the 120km route connects 16 nature reserves. A gorgeous round taking you on an amazing loop of the Peak District that passes through lots of lovely villages and towns, such as Eyam, Bradwell, Glossop, and Buxton, amongst others and runs along stunning trails - including a crossing of Bleaklow. 

The trail starts at the end of a private road/development. You begin around 11,600’ and start with a steady ascent over a dirt track. At the end of the first mile, the terrain becomes steeper and more technical for about a 1/2 mile before plateauing and then another steep & technical climb for another 1/2 mile or so. There’s a false summit at the ridge followed by a moderate climb to the true summit around mile 2.7 and just over 13,000’. This is a moderate 13er with spectacular views the entire way. 

The Birkhead Mountain Trail is located in Asheboro, NC. It's located in the northern portion of the Uwharrie Mountains. It is a lollipop shaped trail that starts with a creek crossing and winds up a technical climb then keeps ascending into a wider trail. It has some fun descents, rolling hills, as well as a couple of more creek crossings throughout the loop then begins a good climb back up before descending down the first climb back to the parking area. I have run this trail a couple of times and really enjoyed it.
