Five Trig Points

Five Trig Points is a trail running event held on Saturday 9th May 2026 at the Castleshaw Centre, Waterworks Road, Delph OL3 5LZ. The course follows footpaths and trails, including parts of the Pennine Way, and visits five local trig points around Delph, Saddleworth.

The route is roughly 18 to 19 miles with approximately 3000 ft of ascent. The 2026 route is the same as the previous year and is the reverse of earlier editions, running in an anticlockwise direction. The shown route is a recommended line; participants may vary their route provided they stay on public rights of way, paths, tracks, or roads. The course is not marked and participants must navigate themselves to each checkpoint in the correct ascending order (1 to 9).

There are three manned checkpoints on the route that provide snacks and drinks, and free soup and hot drinks are available at the finish. Full kit is required, including full waterproofs, map and compass, hat and gloves, spare clothing, and food.

Entry fees are published as £22 plus a £2 unaffiliated charge, with entries on the day listed at £25. The event is held under UKA rules and is licensed with the Trail Running Association and the Fell Runners Association. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
