Beyond Manchester

This trail event, starting from Castlefield Bowl, returns to challenge participants with routes exploring canals, quays, greenbelt trails, and the "wilder edges beyond the city." It offers both a 25km trail option and a demanding 55km ultra route, designed for runners and walkers ready to push their limits. The course is a "flat, fast loop" guiding participants from Castlefield Bowl through Salford Quays and along the Irwell Sculpture Trail. While suitable for first-timers attempting an ultra, this event invites a deeper exploration of the landscape.
