PFW Running - Brockholes Bimble

Preston, United Kingdom • 8 May 2026

PFW Running's Brockholes Bimble is staged at Brockholes Nature Reserve in Preston. The event offers 10K, half marathon, marathon and ultra distances, with a multi‑lap course around the reserve. Runners traverse paths that circle several lakes, the River Ribble, and woodlands.

The 10K is one lap plus an out‑back; the half is three laps; the marathon six laps; the ultra is as many laps as fit within a six‑hour limit. The reserve—250 acres and a Wildlife Trust site known for wildlife and the UK's first floating visitor centre—provides a scenic backdrop. Two pounds from each entry goes to path upkeep; entrants receive a bespoke medal and post‑race goodies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
