I've no idea about the route (but Lantern Pike would seem a good bet), however there are other things going off around the village during the day. Here is the press release:-
PRESS RELEASE
Eventful day in Hayfield: Saturday 5th April
Three community groups in Hayfield have independently organised visitor entertainment events for Saturday 5th April.
In the morning, Hayfield Primary School are hosting a “Chicken Run” fell racing program. There are races for all ages; 5K & 9.5K for adults, registration from 9.30am, races from 10am, adults 11am. There will also be prizes, cakes, Easter egg hunts and a clothing sale.
The Kinder Visitor Centre Group are holding their first pop-up Art sales and Exhibition in the Village Hall, featuring paintings of Kinder and the Hayfield landscape, by six different local artists. This goes on from 10am to 4pm. There will also be a Kinder Trespass display area, and sales of cards, prints, posters and walks booklets, together with all day refreshments – and admission is free.
Handmade Hayfield are holding the latest of their monthly pop-up craft sales, from 10am to 3pm in St Matthews Hall, adjoining the church in the village centre. There will also be optional workshops, demonstrations of craft skills, and refreshments.
So if any or all of these appeal, Saturday 5th April is a good day to visit the “Gateway to Kinder”, one of the Peak District’s most characterful villages.
So it sounds like it might be worth a trip down there.
Sounds good - Cheers GeoffQuote:

Great run today at Chicken Run. The Kinder foothills never fail to challenge. Thanks to the organisers, marshals and cake-bakers. Photos are limited this time due few walking breaks.
Great route! and thanks for the photos Nick, any idea who has the results for this?
It's been some time, but i need to get back to adding to my blog! http://alwayssearchingfor.blogspot.co.uk/
RO has said she will be posting results once she's figured out how later todayQuote:

Official results now up on Steve Temple's excellent website.
On Saturday I had my first go at the Chicken Run and as it was a new course it would also be a new race for the other 224 entrants too.
Organised as a fund raiser for Hayfield School there were two route options, 8 miles and 1,620 feet and a shorter 6.5 miles.
From the start at the school a long zig-zag took us up onto Lantern Pike. Down to Rowarth and past The Little Mill pub, the prize sponsors, and then back up a lovely grassy ridge towards Cown Edge. A right just before the top and then a combination of rough bridleways and tarmac before another nice grassy section up the lower part of Lantern Pike. Steeply down into Little Hayfield, then up a short steep tarmac hill before a final run in to the finish back at the school.
Of the 183 in the long race Steve Vernon of Stockport Harriers was first back in 52:58. The first lady was Elinor Kirk, 18th O/A in 1:03:26. I got round in 41st place 1:11:25 and 2nd MV60.
A nice race with fantastic views over Kinder. A bit nippy waiting for the start but once underway perfect running conditions and my choice of Scott Supertrac RC's was spot on for the dry conditions.
Sounds like a good race, LB. I've never done this one - next year perhaps.
Results are out now: https://www.racetecresults.com/resul...d=20223&RId=54
I enjoyed the new route through the picturesque, off-the-beaten-track Rowarth. It comes out at 8.4 miles. I just squeaked a sub-1:30 finish, which I had to be pleased with after running Woodbank parkrun beforehand. (I was never as fast as you are, LB.)
I took pictures as usual.
Wind, Hail, Sun and Rain on today's Chicken Run. It was one of those days when choosing what to wear was a dilemma and after much taking of tops on and off I went for an old Helly Hansen Lifa vest under my Outdoor Research Ferrosi Windshirt, which is one of the best and most versatile bits of kit I possess. Overall the combination worked well, other than on one sheltered climb when the sun came out and I was a touch warm for 4 or 5 minutes.
The full results are not out yet and, oddly, no presentations. I was a few seconds slower than 2 years ago but 1st M60. Fellow RATRunners did well with Jim Bligh 3rd o/a and Joanne Mosley 1st Lady. It was also good to see Jake Fearn from Buxton AC back on it and finishing 2nd o/a.
I saw BritNick from this parish finishing but not to speak to. As I write this my face is on fire from a combination of sun/wind burn.
My legs were still a bit tired today from Flower Scar so I will be taking it easy until Lads Leap in a fortnight.
