Attracting both club and non-club runners, The Trafford Trails 5 is also the perfect step up from your local Parkrun. Profits are shared with local community groups/charities.
Starting at Trafford MV Rugby Club in Sale, the route follows the banks of the River Mersey and through the woods at Kickety Brook to Stretford Meadow before returning along both banks of the Mersey. The course is almost entirely off road and includes good quality hard packed paths, a short section of tarmacked path and riverside trails. It is almost entirely flat apart from a ramp up to a bridge and a small surprise at Stretford Meadows!
Parking is available at the club which is adjacent to the start.
The race uses chip timing (chip attached to race number) and results are available immediately after the race.
All finishers receive one of the unique medals.
There are cash prizes for the first male and first female as well as a number of spot prizes. The prize fund for 2024 has been sponsored by Pilates Manchester.
