Saddleworth Res's

Mossley, United Kingdom • 7 Mar 2026

Saddleworth Res’s is CraggRunner’s moorland trail challenge offering three distances: 5 Res’s (25 km), 10 Res’s (44 km), and 15 Res’s (60 km). The route traverses Saddleworth Moor, visiting local reservoirs and mixing paved paths, tracks, and boggy moorland. Highlights include the Dovestones reservoirs, a notorious boulder field, and climbs through areas like Rimmons Clough, Castleshaw and Toolyshaw Moor to Crowden, finishing back at Saddleworth Rangers Rugby Club in Greenfield. The courses are not marked, so navigation skills are essential, with multiple checkpoints and Open Tracking timing. Perks include marshals, a post-event meal, and the CraggRunner “tipple.” New for 2025: 5 Res’s and 15 Res’s routes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
