About the Event

Running enthusiasts are invited to lace up their shoes for an engaging loop around Rishton and its picturesque canal. This one-lap course offers runners the chance to explore scenic landscapes while supporting a worthy cause – UK Boston Terrier Rescue.
The route winds through charming streets and alongside tranquil waters, providing both flat stretches and gentle elevation changes that cater to all levels of fitness. Participants will enjoy the tranquility of nature as they pass by historic landmarks and local green spaces.
All proceeds from this event go directly towards helping rescued Boston Terriers find loving homes across the UK. By joining in, runners not only challenge themselves but also contribute positively to animal welfare efforts.
Those interested can register for both this race and the Hyndburn 10k (scheduled for September 22, 2026) at a special discounted rate through the event page or by contacting ukbostonterrierrescue.co.uk. Donations are welcome and will be gratefully accepted to support ongoing rescue efforts.
This is an opportunity not only to experience Rishton’s beauty but also to make a difference in the lives of these delightful dogs.
Join us for what promises to be a rewarding day out on foot, where every step brings you closer to making a positive impact.
