Monument Marathon Bury
The Monument Marathon in Bury is a challenging 26-mile loop connecting six historic towers: Bradshaw Hall, Tentering Tower, Radcliffe Tower, Turton Tower, Grant's Tower, and Peel Tower. Held at Burrs Country Park, the mostly trail-based course passes through country parks and along waterways, offering scenic views and a unique Tower Tour experience. Participants can run or hike the route, with optional guided support available.
The event emphasizes camaraderie and exploration over competition, providing aid stations, secure parking, and a finisher's neck gaiter. It is organized by The Sunnywood Project, a charity promoting outdoor activities for wellbeing and community benefit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
