Jackals Run 10km & Half Marathon Trail Race

Thank you to all who came and enjoyed the beautiful trails with us on Sunday 12 Mar 2017! ​It was lovely and muddy and it was fab seeing so many smiling faces at the end! The beauty with trail running is exploring the trails and having fun... And that in mind!


We are back in 2018... Bigger and better! We are changing the route, to keep it fun, different and challenging! ​

The Jackals Run is fast becoming known as one of the best trail races in the North West and there is a reason why!

Well organised, beautifully, challenging trail with amazing bling for your efforts plus hot food at the finish line and a bar... What more could one ask for!

There is plenty of parking and the atmosphere of the day is awesome!

After a tough climb up to the Darwen Moors, the trail is undulates across various terrain before taking in the Iconic Darwen Tower where our professional race photograpgher will be stood to capture a memory of your day with us!

There is a reason we sell out every year... Because our events are tough and rewarding with amazing bling... surrounded by like minded individuals!

Those that know me, Stu (the RD) know I do everything I can to make an amazing event and amazing experience! so much so that I am changing the route for 2018 to keep the Jackals Run Challenging, Fun and Interesting! ​I must tell you though, it sells out quickly with only a field of 200,, Do not miss your place!
