Please note this race was sold out in 2016 so book early as to avoid disappointment

In partnership with East Lancashire Railway's this race will start from Bury train station on the sound of the steam trains whistle. Runners will then set off North along trail paths running alongside the railway lines and Irwell River. The run is from point to point, starting at Bury and finishing at Rawtenstall Station.

The steam train on the sound of its whistle will travel south to the next station then change tracks, then head north catching the runners as it makes its way to Rawtenstall Station

Friends and family can ride the train looking out for runners along the way shouting encouragement, so why not buy a concessionary train ticket.
