Three Towers Ultra - 39 & 55 Miles

Ramsbottom, United Kingdom • 19 Sep 2026

Three Towers Ultra

The event is scheduled for 19 September 2026 in the West Pennine Moors, starting at Darwen near Blackburn. The route visits three towers: Jubilee, Rivington and Peel, and runs close to a military firing range, so participants must remain on the path. The course is unmarked, so navigation skills will be useful. A guided recce will be organised.

There will be a kit check and a kit list will be published by the end of summer. The organisers advise carrying taped-seam jacket and trousers and a bivi bag.
