PFW Running - Cottam Canter
The event is based at the UCLAN Sports Arena in Cottam, Preston, and follows a route that uses the Lancaster canal towpath and local parkland. The course leaves the sports arena grounds, follows the canal toward Preston, passes through canal locks and along the Millennium Ribble Link, then continues through tree lined paths of Haslam Park where it loops around the park and lake before returning to the canal and back to the sports arena.
The core loop measures 5K. Distances offered are structured as multiple laps of this loop, with longer events including short out-and-back sections for half and full marathon distances. The ultra distance is run as multiple laps within a six hour limit; the last lap must be started within 5 hours 15 minutes. All participants must be at least 18 years old. Runners aged 18 to 19 may not enter distances beyond the marathon; participants over 20 may enter any distance. The event is limited to 100 entrants.
On the day there is a fully marked route, medical cover, refreshments including sweet and savoury snacks plus water, cordial and cola, and a bespoke medal and post run goodies. The venue provides changing rooms, toilets, showers, a cafe and free parking. The event is held under UKA rules and a Trail Running Association race permit number is to be advised. Refunds are not permitted; transfers and deferrals are allowed up to one week before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
