St Helens

St Helens sits on the edge of the Lancashire plain, 15km east of Liverpool and just south of the industrial corridor that runs toward Manchester. Running here is predictably flat, with Sherdley Park offering a 2km loop through woodland and the local parkrun following similar terrain; the town's runners typically chase faster times rather than hill work. Cyclists treat St Helens as a launch point for longer rides into the Pennines (30km south towards Frodsham) or link into the Manchester to Blackpool Bike Ride route that passes nearby, though local talent competes in the Southport CC 15 and CC 10 road races 20km to the west.
