Bowland Trail Half
Slaidburn, United Kingdom • 10 Jan 2026
Bowland Trail Half 2026 is an off-road, unmarked mixed-course event set around Slaidburn, gateway to the Forest of Bowland. The roughly 13-mile route climbs about 2,000 feet and threads through a blend of fast vehicle tracks, flowing trails, road sections, and boggy climbs. Runners navigate a written route description with a GPX file provided, supported by marshals at key points. Starting and finishing at Slaidburn Village Hall, the event is the smaller companion to the Bowland Ultra and supports fundraising for Morecambe Bay Foodbank. Finishers receive a meal and a memento; attendees should be prepared for potentially challenging winter conditions in January. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
