The Course
Around 70% of the course is on trails whilst the other 30% is along
country roads. The route follows some of the most beautiful trails and
country roads on the
West Pennine Moors. Runners take on Winter Hill before running past
White Coppice and along the famous Anglezarke Reservoir, past Rivington
Pike and Barn, through
Barrow Bridge village and down the miners 63 steps. A hilly race is an
understatement with 2997 ft of total ascent. Ouch.
