Mere Sands Mile
Mere Sands Mile is an inclusive canicross event held at Mere Sands Wood Nature Reserve in Lancashire, organised by Sporting Paws. The event centres on a timed 1 mile run that is open to runners and walkers with dogs and is followed by an optional 2.5 km social run around the reserve.
The course uses scenic trails through natural woodland and tracks. The terrain is described as mostly flat and suitable for a range of abilities. Runs are timed rather than organised as a competition and no medals will be awarded.
Facilities at the reserve include a café and visitor centre, toilets and parking. The event listing shows the entry fee for the main mile as £7.50 and gives entry open and close dates in 2026. The location is Mere Sands Wood Nature Reserve, Holmeswood Road, Rufford, Ormskirk, Lancashire L40 1TG, England.
This is presented as a community oriented occasion where participants can enjoy the outdoors, local wildlife and socialising afterwards. Additional practical details such as entry lists, event terms and cancellation policies are available through the event organiser. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
