Matlock Town - Thursday 1 January 2026

EMUL event

About this event

Sweat off the excesses of 2025 in our traditional New Year’s Day Urban! Matlock is notoriously hilly, and we chosen an elevated start location, with older paticiants in mind (younger folks – expect climb).

Matlock is the county town of Derbyshire and Registration will be in the Council offices. There is a combination of Victorian or earlier housing as well as modern develpoments, and Hall Leys, an ornamental park, just off the A6
