Tour of Merseyside

About this event

The Tour of Merseyside is a distinctive week-long challenge that takes runners through 52 miles across six different races in seven days. Limited to 500 participants, this event weaves through the varied landscapes of Merseyside, from Rimrose Valley's trails to Thurstaston's multi-terrain paths, along the old railway line, and across the beaches of the Wirral coast. The famous River Mersey 5-miler adds a playful touch with its fancy dress tradition. Each day brings a different venue and terrain—road, trail, beach, and cross-country—culminating in a 12-mile coastal run between New Brighton and West Kirby. Inspired by running legend Dr. Ron Hill's 1980s concept, this touring format blends serious running with a strong sense of community. Completing all six stages over the week is a genuine achievement that requires consistent effort and smart pacing.
