****** Coronavirus update **********
We're sorry to announce that we are cancelling this year's event.
UK Athletics / England Athletics announced at the end of April that all athletics competition has been cancelled up to the end of June 2020.
As we previously suggested on this page and by email to all entrants, we will automatically transfer all entrants to next year's event (likely to be 13th or 20th June 2021). More details will follow once a decision has been made.
If you've not seen the announcement, here it is in full.
*****************************************************************************
This is our fourth annual trail race, taking in some of the parks, countryside and sights of Marple. A multi terrain, mainly off road, 10k race starting in Brabyns Park Marple, utilising sections (not the muddy part) of the Marple parkrun course before leaving the park via the canal locks, taking the back roads and trails to Chadkirk, via Marple Hall, then back to Marple along the canal, crossing the iconic Marple Aquaduct before finishing back at the start in Brabyns Park.
In addition, our '2k Family Fun Run' is returning for the second year. It's for ages 4 and above, on a flat course on grass and tracks within Brabyns Park. The Family Fun Run will start and finish before the 10k Trail Race in the same area of the park.

*Runners should be capable of finishing in this time. In line with UK Athletics guidance, runners should have completed at least a 6k run as part of their preparation.
Please note that the course has a number of hills including two long steep hills.
Affiliated runners - £14 (£16 on the day*) + booking fee (£1.60)
Unaffiliated runners - £16 (£18 on the day*) + booking fee (£1.69)
* We expect that the race will sell out well before race day (as it has done in the last 2 years) so please don't leave it too late and risk missing out!
During the uncertainty due to the Coronavirus we are not accepting any further entries at this time - please see note at the top of the page.
In line with most other events companies, we do not offer refunds, but if you find you are unable to attend an event, please let us know via the entry web page, at least five days prior to the event and we will happily defer* your entry or transfer it to someone else.
* Please note that a deferral can only be made to the following year (and not beyond) and that place needs to be taken-up by the end of February.

There will also be a 'Random Prize Draw'
