SIGN-UP NOW!

 

The Happy Valley Trail Half Marathon is a new trail running event in the hills and valleys surrounding Bollignton, taking place on Sunday 15 May. With a total of 770m of ascent, the challenging route starts and finishes in Bollington and includes an ascent of White Nancy, Kerridge Ridge and Sponds HIll.

 

Join us, as we make an immediate ascent up to Kerridge Ridge from Adelphi Mill, kick-starting an undulating half marathon over varied terrain and with some gorgeous views included.

 

After making our way over to Harrop Woods, we'll be calling on all of our grit and determination to climb all the way up to the wilds of Sponds Hill, before enjoying a pleasant downward trip over Bakestonedale Moor to a welcome aid station at the road.


Bollington soon comes back in to view as we head south, but don't be deceived! Our descent back in to the Happy Valley has one more little surprise in store as we make a sharp upwards to visit our beloved White Nancy, following which it's a quick trip past the quarries to race HQ.

 

The route will be fully marked and marshalled, but copies of the route will also be provided. One aid station will be available on the route. 


There's a course map here

 

Do join us and help set the times to beat for what we hope will become an annual club fixture.

Refund Policy

Refunds

Organising a race incurs considerable costs which are met a long time before race day and so individual refunds will only ever be issued at the Race Organiser’s discretion. For a refund to be considered, full details must be emailed to us for consideration within a reasonable time frame of the event. 

We do not refund any admin fees that were applied on top of the base Entry fee paid.

Cancellations    

We hold the rights to amend/cancel any aspect of an event at late notice. Cancellation will only ever be a last resort for us, and we will always take direction on event cancellations from government agencies (e.g. the Met Office for weather related incidents) and the National Governing Body concerned, in addition to our assessment of the local conditions.
In the event of any cancellation, if it possible to reschedule the event to a different date in the same calendar year then all entries will be automatically transferred to the new date. Deferrals and transfers will be permitted for the rescheduled event.

Where an event cannot be rescheduled, committed contractors will be paid and remaining funds will be offered as partial refunds.
