PFW Running - Cottam Canter

PFW Running - Cottam Canter is a multi-distance running event at the UCLAN Sports Arena in Cottam, Preston, Lancashire. The course begins in the arena grounds and uses the Lancaster canal towpath, passing through canal locks and along the Millennium Ribble Link. Runners pass through the tree-lined paths of Haslam Park, loop around the park and lake, return to the canal and finish back at the sports arena.

The basic loop measures 5K. Race formats are based on repeated laps of this loop with additional short out-and-back sections for some distances. The event includes route markings, medical cover, and refreshments such as sweet and savoury snacks, water, cordial and coke. Participants receive 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 will be provided.

Additional event details: maximum 100 entrants, entries close 07/05/2027, and all participants must be at least 18 years old. Runners aged 18 to 19 may enter up to the marathon distance; runners aged 20 and over may enter any distance. The ultra option allows as many laps as a runner completes within a six hour limit; the final lap must start within 5 hours 15 minutes.
