Racing across mountains, hills, fells and trails in Ultra-marathon distances is great for the soul,. However, the opportunity to record fast, flat miles over Ultra distances is not often achievable. For this reason, The Canalathon was created.
No navigation needed, no hill climbing necessary, just worry about getting from point A to B.
A 62-mile Ultra-marathon beginning in Sowerby Bridge, follows the route all the way until Manchester, turns and follows the same route back, ending where you started in Sowerby Bridge.
