Age limits:
16+ for the 30 & 60 mile routes
12 to 15 year olds are welcome on the 30 & 60 mile routes but must be accompanied by a parent / guardian.
1-99 year olds are welcome on the Family 5 mile route 

The family 5 mile route heads north out of Macclesfield along The Middlewood Way towards Poynton where the route joins the road and heads south back towards Macclesfield. Those wishing to do a shorter/no road route can choose the option of just doing the Middlewood Way See Route Here

The medium 30 mile route heads west from Macclesfield towards Jodrell Bank then north towards the feed station at Great Warford Baptist Church. Then onto Alderley Edge and Mottram St Andrew before returning to Macclesfield town centre where the welcome of the finish line awaits. See Route Here

The longer 60 mile route follows the above 30 mile route to the feed station at Great Warford. It then continues west, following quiet Cheshire lanes towards Knutsford. From here, more country lanes link to Byley where the route turns for home heading northeast back towards the feed station for another refreshment stop and the final push back to Macclesfield. See Route Here

Feedback from previous events

What a fantastic event and extremely professionally organised – one of the best events I have ever entered. On behalf of our club, please pass on our thanks to everyone involved in the organisation.

I'm looking through photos from yesterday. I just wanted to thank you very much for organising such a super event.  We really enjoyed it and hope that it raised lots of money for such a good cause.

It was well organised both beforehand and on the day and we really enjoyed a fun family day together. Thanks again

Many thanks for a brilliant day yesterday,  my friends & I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was really well organized. Ann, Francesca and the team were great at the feeding station, a really friendly welcome and great atmosphere.
