About the Event

Discover the historical heart and rugged soul of Lancashire on the classic Three Towers Ultra. This premier point-to-point race, organized by Tough Trails, offers a true long-distance challenge along the iconic 55-mile route connecting the historic Peel Tower, Turton Tower, and Jubilee Tower. For those seeking a slightly shorter test, the 39-mile distance provides an equally scenic and demanding adventure. Scheduled for the weekend of 19-20 September 2026, this event is a must for trail runners who want to earn their finish while traversing moorland paths, ancient woodlands, and canal towpaths that tell the story of the region. It's more than an ultra; it's a journey through Lancashire's industrial heritage and natural beauty in one unforgettable day.
