The Routes
Tonic Water With Lyme 8K
Nelson’s Pit Visitor Centre, Higher Poynton
A picture-postcard, scenic sortie of wonderful trails that takes in magisterial views of, and from, Lyme Park. Our multi-terrain route has ever-changing sections including the gorgeous Ladybrook Valley Interest Trail. There’s far too much to see and enjoy. You’ll just have to do this route again and again!
Earn It In Gurnett 6K
Gurnett
Located just on the southern edge of Macclesfield, this lovely flat loop will be a huge attraction during the warmer months…it starts and finishes ‘above’ a pub! The meandering Macclesfield canal keeps you company for the first half before a little sortie via Sutton Reservoir and accompanying woodland helps take you homeward bound.
Jolly Bolly 7K
Bollington
On the outskirts of Macclesfield, this Bollington SixPack route serves up several champagne moments to savour along the way on a very flat route immersed in industrial heritage. Elevated views will elate and the mostly firm surfaced trails will definitely help lift your pace amidst Peak District panoramas. A jolly good route, we say!
Poynton Puffer 10K
Poynton Park
Heritage heavy and a richly varied, scenic adventure created around woodland and water. Steady and gentle elevation in the first half is rewarded by some magnificent Peak District vistas. With the route offering constantly rewarding trails throughout, the largely excellent surfaces will get you into a great rhythm. None more so than the return along the Princes Incline and a glimpse back to the area’s industrial past.
Bollin Bobbin 6K
Riverside Country Park, Tytherington
A scenic river valley and secret woodland trails are uncovered in this urban greenspace loop on your Macclesfield doorstep. We love finding town and city-based trail routes that give your body, mind and soul a chance to escape the surrounding concrete chaos.
Forest Fervour 5k
Marsh Mills
Fun in the forest that will keep you upwardly mobile. At just 5km in length this route, the shortest of the SixPack Macclesfield Challenge, packs quite punch in terms of peaceful paths, tranquil trails and even a hillier highway amidst the timber. It’s a very pretty route that showcases the stunning beauty of the forest and its reservoirs and right on Macclesfield’s doorstep.
