Twisted Spunch, hosted by Twisted Running at Arch 15 on Viaduct Road in Altrincham, offers an engaging and accessible adventure for runners and walkers alike. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out, this event welcomes all ages and abilities with no prior experience necessary. Participants can choose from three course durations—60 minutes, 90 minutes, and two hours—to complete as much of the 2 to 22 kilometer route as they wish within their selected timeframe. The adventure is brought to life through a colorful map that guides you to over 80 SpunchPoints scattered throughout Altrincham's urban areas and local parks. The course weaves through diverse landscapes, offering both tarmac paths and off-road trails for an exciting mix of terrain. While the route isn't particularly hilly, it promises plenty of variety in scenery and underfoot conditions. Even locals are likely to discover new paths during this unique exploration. Dogs are welcome on a lead but must be kept under control at all times. You can participate solo or join forces with friends and family; if you're going alone, the organizers will happily pair you up for some company along the way. The event is designed to ensure that everyone feels supported, whether they’re new to Spunch or returning for another round. On-site registration opens early at 8:30 AM, allowing participants to start anytime between then and 10:30 AM. Last starts are scheduled for 9:30 AM for the longest course option (three hours) and 10:30 AM for those opting for two hours of adventure. All necessary amenities such as parking, registration desks, help stations, bag drop areas, toilets, start lines, finish zones, results announcements, food stalls, and drink stations are conveniently located near or at the venue itself. Detailed course maps using the MapRun app will be shared with all participants on the day before the event to ensure everyone is ready for a memorable experience. Join Twisted Spunch this summer and explore Altrincham’s vibrant urban areas and lush green spaces in an unconventional yet fun way.
