Fantastic race and love the concept :)

I have done this 3 times now so obviously love the idea of it however I have always been dropped north east of Manchester!! I would like to do it again but am getting a bit bored of the same route. Can you please confirm that other locations will be used?
I did it in 2019 - dropped at Hollingworth Lake, 2021 dropped at Uppermill and 2024 dropped near Shaw. I know in 2023 it was near Bolton? But please think about varying the drop off locations…

Unique and hugely fun

Really enjoyed the challenge of finding the route. We ended up running about 22 miles, but we were off-road for most of the journey, thanks to being up on the Moors, then finding the canal into Manchester.

Perfect day out ,nice to go run some where you may never have run before

Note this does rely on you having a sense of direction as it will be x miles as the crow flies but in reality it will be more the 15 this year route I did was 22 miles don’t let this put you off if you not sure get some mates and do it together,I have this now 3 times at 15 and twice at ten including Carlisle so that should tell u something if I keep coming back to it

10 mile was enjoyable, not too hard.

We enjoyed the unknown of where would be dropped of on the 10 mile. However it was easy to navigate so I think the 15 mile next time. Maybe a better venue to finish next time somewhere we can have food and drink would be better. Overall we enjoyed it, thank you.
