Fire Fighters 2UP Duathlon (Run Route)
Running Route
Easy
3.44 mi
494 ft
The epic Fire Fighters '2UP' Duathlon is a unique event which takes place on the 20th March 2016 in conjunction with Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue. This event is fast becoming a firm favourite with competitors. It is a sell out every year so don’t hang around, grab your run/bike buddy and test yourselves against the gruelling Lancashire terrain.
The run sections are a 1 x 5.6k loop around Rivington Country Park. The run is undulating (which many of you will know as Epic Events code for ‘hilly’) and it takes place entirely on trails. Initially you will climb up the side of the school and then recuperate on a nice wide flat section through the woods before winding your way over to the start of the “Pike” climb. Because we are nice at Epic Events, we don’t make you climb all the way to the pike. As you start your descent on the cobbled path back to the school you get a beautiful view over Bolton and towards the coast. We recommend trail or fell shoes (but it isn’t compulsory).
