Three Towers Ultra - 39 & 55 Miles
The Three Towers Ultra is a challenging trail running event held across the West Pennine Moors in Lancashire, starting near Darwen. It offers two ultra distances: 39 miles with 5,890 feet of elevation gain and 55 miles with 8,350 feet of ascent. The course visits three iconic towers—Darwen, Rivington, and Peel—and runs close to a military firing range, requiring runners to stay on the path.
The route is unmarked, demanding navigation skills. Participants receive medals, buffs, and access to well-stocked checkpoints. The event supports local mountain rescue and includes GPS tracking for safety.
The venue is the Ranken Arms Pub. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
