The Happy Valley Trails event was established in 2022 as a running event in the hills and valleys surrounding Bollington. Locally the event has started to build a reputation for being at the more arduous end of the difficulty spectrum.

Half Marathon Route
Not your typical half marathon! Approx. 770m total ascent over Kerridge ridge and Sponds Hill followed by a real sting in the tail up White Nancy! Mixture of farmland, rocky descents and beautiful woodland. Two aid stations on course. Typically takes 30 minutes longer than a flat course.
 
10k Route
Same start and end as the half marathon. 390m of total ascent including White Nancy and Kerridge ridge. One aid station on course.
