PFW Running - Granny's Bay Challenge

Back for its 5th year, Granny's Bay Challenge invites runners to Lytham St. Annes, starting at the Fylde Spitfire Memorial on the Inner Promenade. The flat, tarmac course runs 5.24 miles along the Ribble estuary and can be completed as many times as desired within a six-hour limit.

A marathon distance requires five laps; a half-marathon is two laps plus a 2.62-mile loop. The route passes Granny's Bay, Fairhaven Lake, and Lytham Green, with views of the windmill and estuary toward Southport and North Wales. Finisher times and medals are awarded; age limits apply and UK Athletics rules are observed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
