Golden Gates Gallop

The Golden Gates Gallop is a 5-mile race held at Elvaston Cricket Club in Derby, Derbyshire, with the main start scheduled for 10:00 AM. The race commences under the Napoleonic golden gates at Elvaston Castle, directing participants onto a two-lap circuit within the castle grounds. The route incorporates the local “gallops,” a undulating section featuring consistent gradients, concluding back at the race village near the cricket club. A 2-mile fun run, suitable for families and younger participants, follows a single circuit of Elvaston Castle’s boundary path. The event also offers participants a charity fundraising component.
