The Link Challenge
Bury, United Kingdom • 21 Mar 2026
The Link Challenge 2026 takes place at Burrs Country Park, Bury. It offers a 20-mile trail run or hike through six historic villages: Nangreaves, Holcombe, Hawkshaw, Affetside, Ainsworth and Greenmount. The atmosphere centers on camaraderie, with friendly guides running or walking the route to offer support, while participants can choose to push on independently.
The largely trail-based course traverses woodland, open meadows and landmark sites, with regular aid stations and route details (GPX/maps) provided. Finisher neck gaiter included and secure parking at the start/finish. The event promotes community wellbeing and supports The Sunnywood Project; dogs are not permitted.
