The Routes
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.
Jolly Bolly 6K
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. Cheers!
Run Happy 6K
Bramhall Hall
An undulating multi-terrain suburban route that cleverly links three rewarding trail areas: Bramhall Park, Happy Valley Nature Reserve and Carr Wood.
Lock Up & Go 8K
Brabyns Park
The tranquil Basingstoke Canal escorts you towards the military training area of Ash Common and, then, amidst a woodland wonder of gorgeous trails. A short final rendezvous with the canal beckons your return. Varied and verdant. Flat and fabulous!
Bog Man 7K
Wilmslow
Tales from the past aplenty amidst tranquil trails, lakes, and nature reserves. No need to start at a gallop, but our host venue, Lindow Common, was once surrounded by a racetrack. The peaceful, adjacent moss was where the bog body (and now British Museum resident) “Lindow Man” was discovered. The body of evidence suggests you’ll enjoy this gorgeous, pan flat exploration. Discover for yourself!
Doing it in Styal 5K
Wilmslow
A SixPack park run of sorts! Rewarding, scenic and heritage trail route through The Carrs Park and onwards towards a brief step back in history within Styal Country Park before a flowing return home.
