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 46-mile Ultra-marathon that is an out and back route from Sowerby to Oldham and back to Sowerby.
