Low key fell/trail run if any fancies running for a good cause this Thursday...



Macclesfield Harriers invite you to take part in the Forest 5 Charity Run on the picturesque tracks of Macclesfield Forest.
7.30pm, Thursday July 19th 2007.


  • Entries on the night only
  • Parking and Registration from 6.00pm at Macclesfield Forest Visitors Centre, Trentabank, nr. Langley (SJ 961712)
  • Under no circumstances must cars be parked anywhere near the Leathers Smithy Pub. Race parking is 600 metres beyond.
  • Entry is by donation to St Ann’s Hospice which aims to improve the quality of life of those with life-threatening illnesses
  • Sorry, no prizes, we want as much as possible to go to our charity
  • The route is ~5.5 miles mostly on good quality forest tracks but there are some stepped boardwalks to negotiate
  • At one point there is a route choice; either stay on the dry firm track or to take a slightly shorter line across slippery grass (this might govern your selection of shoes)
  • Arrive in good time; the start is 10 minutes walk from registration.
  • Changing and toilet facilities are extremely limited.
After the race, runners and officials tend to gather in the St Dunstan Inn in Langley.
