Three Counties Trot
Billinge Running Club holds the Three Counties Trot each November. The event is a fully marked and marshalled trail race covering 5 miles, starting on the Janet Lalley fields across from Tontine Park. The route mixes woodland trails, grass tracks and quiet country lanes, includes several climbs with Sheep Hill as a notable section, and crosses Greater Manchester, West Lancashire and Merseyside.
Registration is online preferred with limited entries available on the day. Race information and race packs can be collected on the Friday evening Smart Nav event or at the event registration point. The event headquarters and registration are at the Delph Tavern, where bag drop is available; organisers are not responsible for belongings left there. There are no toilets at the start; the only toilets are at the Delph Tavern.
Car parking is a short walk from registration, with the main car park at UPHOLLAND HIGH SCHOOL WN5 7AL. The Delph Tavern car park is for drop off only. Marshals are positioned at key points along the course and the route is marked with flags and signs.
The Three Counties Trot weekend includes a Friday evening Smart Nav navigation event using GPS punching, followed by the five mile trail race and post race refreshments and awards at the Delph Tavern. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
