Clowbridge 5k - Autumn 2/3

Experience the thrill and beauty of running around Clowbridge Reservoir on September 9, 2027, as part of the Trail 5k series hosted by Rossendale Valley Sailing Club. This fast-paced course features a flat terrain with just 25 meters of elevation gain over its 5 kilometers, making it ideal for runners looking to push their limits in an enjoyable setting.
Registration opens at 6:15 PM, and the race begins promptly at 7 PM from Manchester Road, Burnley (BB11 5PF). Participants will run two laps around the reservoir path in a counterclockwise direction. The route offers stunning views of the surrounding Pennine Bridleway landscape while providing well-maintained trails that are safe and easy to follow.
Runners can park sensibly at nearby locations, including the lower car park at the Sailing Club or along Limey Lane near the reservoir's far end. With clear signage and marshals ensuring a smooth race day experience, this event promises excitement and camaraderie for all participants. Join us on September 9th to support local causes while enjoying an evening of fitness in nature.
