Three Towers Ultra - 39 & 55 Miles

The Three Towers Ultra is a challenging trail running event held across the West Pennine Moors in Lancashire, UK. Participants can choose between two distances: 39 miles with 5,890 feet of elevation gain, or 55 miles with 8,350 feet of ascent. The course visits three iconic towers—Darwen, Rivington, and Peel—and runs near a military firing range, requiring runners to stay on the path.

The route is unmarked, so navigation skills are essential. The event features checkpoints with food and drinks, GPS tracking, and supports local mountain rescue. It starts near the Ranken Arms Pub and offers medals and buffs for finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
