In reply to robsykes1975:
Lots of good running around Buxton, numerous races start there - Buxton half, carnival, high peak 40 etc.
Best option is to look at the map and work out a loop. I would start with, or rather at, Buxton country park, near the Go Ape, aim for Ladmanlow and the path alongside the empty reservoir is pretty good, head for the quiet road at Leap Edge, then the minor road over Axe Edge, then take any of the numerous paths that cross the A54 aiming for the straight road that descends into Burbage. Will be wet underfoot.
Burbage edge itself is worth heading for, then follow the old railway bed to the little reservoir at the top of Bunsal Cob, then you could run back down Long Hill road into Buxton.
Another option would be to run down Cunning Dale, up Cow Dale (very quiet road, steep!, aka Craig y Biceps) , then take the footpath through Staden and under the impressive viaduct.
