Training plan

This was my first 'official' running event and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The atmosphere was brilliant and the event was very well organised. I think I've got the bug now and will be looking to take part in more events in the future. Thanks to all involved. John W

Great local event with plenty of support and encouragement from spectators, fellow runners and organisers. A fast course and the free medal engraving at the end was an extra special touch. Ali-Ann H

Keeping Bury green

This event is committed to keeping Bury green and understands the importance of helping the environment. Bins will be provided across the event site and runners are urged to use the facilities provided.

It is important that we leave the course the way we found it. Recycling bins will be provided on course at each water station and we ask that you use them. If you want to hand on to your water beyond the provided bins, please pass any litter to your nearest marshal.

Let’s work together to Keep Bury green and encourage other runners to do the same.
