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 distances: 39 miles with 5,890 feet of elevation and 55 miles with 8,350 feet of elevation. The course visits three iconic towers—Jubilee, Rivington, and Peel—and runs close to 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 includes a medal and buff for finishers. It supports local mountain rescue and requires technical gear due to potentially wet, moorland conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
