Rivington Trail Half-Marathon

About this event

The Rivington Trail Half-Marathon takes runners through the moorland trails around Rivington Pike, a landmark tower visible for miles across Lancashire. The 21km route weaves through mixed woodland and open hillside, offering classic northern England terrain with technical sections that reward confident footwork. Based in Horwich, just outside Bolton, the course includes the area's signature steep climbs and fast descents. The trails here have a proper rugged feel — rooty, rocky in places, and often muddy depending on the season. This intermediate-level event suits runners comfortable with varied terrain and sustained climbing, making it a solid choice for those looking to test themselves beyond road racing.
