Bolton is hilly enough that a flat 5K takes a bit of finding. Moss Bank Park is the obvious answer - the paths are well-kept and it's a manageable loop without much climbing. Queens Park works too if you're closer to the town centre. Rivington is there when you want the opposite experience; the Pike is a proper climb and the reservoir trails will make 5K feel considerably longer than it is. 10K runs in Bolton are the next move when you're ready.
Have a browse through the listings below and pick one that suits. If you've been doing your training on the hills around Rivington, a flatter race will feel easy by comparison. Half marathons in Bolton and marathons in Bolton are both listed when you want to go longer.
