Three Counties Trot

The Three Counties Trot is an annual November race organised by Billinge Running Club. The event uses the club's established trails and follows a mapped, marshalled route that is marked with flags and signs. The course is approximately 5-mile and includes varied trail surfaces with sections that can be muddy.

Event HQ and registration are at The Delph Tavern, with bag drop available there; the organisers and the venue do not accept responsibility for belongings left in the tavern during the race. There are toilets at The Delph Tavern; there are no toilets at the race start. Tea and coffee are available in the registration area.

Car parking for the event is at UPHOLLAND HIGH SCHOOL WN5 7AL, a short walk from the registration point. The Delph Tavern car park is designated for drop-off and event staff only.

Before the race there will be a short briefing and a minute's silence to mark Remembrance weekend. Donations for the British Heart Foundation will be collected at registration and the race start. Clubs may bring banners or feather flags for display at the finish area. A GPX file of the route is available for download. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
