The Link Challenge
The Link Challenge is a 20-mile trail run or hike held at Burrs Country Park in Bury, UK. The scenic route connects six historic villages—Nangreaves, Holcombe, Hawkshaw, Affetside, Ainsworth, and Greenmount—passing through iconic landmarks, woodlands, and open meadows. The event emphasizes camaraderie and exploration over competition, with friendly guides available for support along the way.
Participants receive a finisher neck gaiter and benefit from regular aid stations offering food and drink. The course requires suitable trail gear and navigation tools. Dogs are not permitted, and secure parking is available at the start/finish location.
The event supports community and youth services through The Sunnywood Project. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
