Three Counties Trot
The Three Counties Trot is Billinge Running Club’s annual November trail race. The event covers a 5 mile route that crosses Greater Manchester, West Lancashire and Merseyside. The course is fully marked and marshalled and combines woodland trails, grass tracks and quiet country lanes with several climbs, including the notable Sheep Hill. Runners should expect some muddy and uneven ground and a mix of runnable sections and steeper ascents.
Event headquarters and registration are located at the Delph Tavern, where bag drop and toilets are provided; there are no toilets at the start on the Janet Lalley fields. Main car parking is a short walk from registration at Upholland High School, with the Delph Tavern car park reserved for drop off and event staff. Race information can be collected in advance at the club’s Smart Nav event on the Friday evening before the race or on the morning of the event; online registration is preferred and limited entries may be available on the day.
A GPX file of the course is provided for navigation. After the race, results and awards are presented and refreshments are available at the Delph Tavern. The Three Counties Trot is run alongside a weekend of local club events that includes a Friday night Smart Nav navigation challenge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
