Open to everyone, we are delighted to be collaborating with traffordrowing.club (TRC) to support fundraising for boathouse improvements.  TRC is a community club with a strong focus on providing opportunities for juniors.  Half of the members are juniors, many have gone on to represent the North-West and have seen success in national competitions.  The Boathouse Project seeks to provide room to socialise and train away from the clutter of the boat storage area in Walton Park.

 The Area & Course

One of our spring all-in-daylight evening series.  Part urban / part green space - the course will be carefully curated to provide opportunities to visit the areas parks, towpaths, trails, community woodlands and local countryside. 

Will there be checkpoints around the canal, rowing club & Walton Park?  Of course there will!

Always good to be in and around Sale, this is a different part to our recent visits.  Lots of route choice and not a hilly one this.  Good running / walking on a mixture of underfoot conditions from tarmac to off-road paths*.  There will be something for everyone and even locals will likely discover new paths and places!  

Hope you will come along and give it a go.  *total absence of mud can not be guaranteed!
