About the race
Rainow 5 is a small FRA-licensed trail/fell race staged on the first Wednesday evening in May in the Rainow and Kerridge Ridge area near Macclesfield, Cheshire. The five-mile, hilly route takes runners along rural lanes and ridgelines around Rainow and Kerridge Ridge, attracting around 250–300 participants. The event is a low-key, community-focused affair, with post-race cakes and a social chat, and an optional pub stop nearby.
Prizes are modest, designed to maximise donations to local charities and community projects such as village facilities and nature reserves. Pre-entry is encouraged, spaces may be available on the day, and participants must be at least 16 years old. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
