Canalathon Ultra
The Canalathon Ultra Running Festival, held at Sowerby Bridge Cricket Club in West Yorkshire, offers a scenic running experience along the Rochdale Canal through historic industrial towns in Yorkshire and Lancashire. The event features multiple distances: 100km, 50km, half marathon, and 10km, suitable for runners aged 16 to 98. The courses are flat, well-maintained canal towpaths with minimal elevation, ideal for fast times without navigation or hill climbing challenges.
Amenities include chip timing, marshalled routes, aid stations with refreshments, free parking, showers, and post-race food. The festival emphasizes a supportive atmosphere with trophies, medals, and comprehensive race services. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
