Beyond Trails Manchester

Beyond Trails Manchester is a trail and ultra running event held in Manchester, offering two distance options: a 25km trail and a 55km ultra. Both routes start and finish in the Castlefield area of the city. The courses take runners beyond the urban environment into the greenbelt and natural edges surrounding Manchester, featuring a mix of footpaths, parks, woodland trails, and canal paths.

The 55km ultra route passes landmarks such as the Manchester Ship Canal, Salford Quays, Imperial War Museum North, Old Trafford, and the Irwell Sculpture Trail, while the 25km route covers similar highlights on a shorter scale. The event includes fully marked routes, feed stations, chip timing, medical support, and finisher medals, creating a challenging yet scenic urban-to-nature running experience.
