Mere Sands Mile

Mere Sands Mile is an inclusive canicross event at Mere Sands Wood Nature Reserve in Rufford, Ormskirk, Lancashire L40 1TG, England. The event takes place on 1 November 2026 and is organised by Sporting Paws. It is open to runners, walkers and their dogs and uses the reserve's trails.

The course follows scenic woodland tracks and natural trails that are mostly flat. The main run is timed rather than organised as a competition and no medals are awarded. A short social run around the reserve is offered after the main mile event.

• 2.5 km optional social run around the reserve

Facilities at the reserve include an on site visitor centre with a café, toilets and parking.
