About the race
Clowbridge 5k is a trail race held as part of a three-race spring series on consecutive Thursdays: 15, 22 and 29 April 2027. The series is organised by Run JMC. Entries open on 27 September 2026 and close on 14 April 2027; the entry fee is £6.50. The event is open to runners aged 11 and over.
The course comprises two laps of the trail path around Clowbridge Reservoir, located off the Pennine Bridleway, starting from the Rossendale Valley Sailing Club on Manchester Road, Burnley (BB11 5PF). The distance is 5 km with approximately 25 m of elevation across the route. The circuit is run anticlockwise and is described as fast and flat. Each race is well marshalled and offers prizes.
Parking is available locally, including the lower car park at the Sailing Club and parking near Limey Lane at the far end of the reservoir; participants are asked to park sensibly. Monies raised from the series will be donated to local causes. Run JMC holds an ARC licence (27/0065). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
