Event information
Not everyone thinks about incredible views and countryside when they think about Manchester, but just a stone’s throw away from the city streets is a glorious landscape waiting to be discovered.
This event will start from a well-known venue close to the city-centre that also has great transport links.
The Trail Escape : Manchester marathon route will follow a traffic-free route along tranquil green corridors out of the city to easily reach the stunning western edge of the stunning Peak District National Park.
After enjoying breathtaking views back towards the city, the route will then cross moorland and rolling hills, and pass through picturesque villages before re-joining the green corridor to return back into the city and the well earned finish line.
Further route details will be provided soon.

FULLY SUPPORTED ROUTE
Explore trails outside of the city with peace of mind. All of the events will be fully supported with way-finding and marshals just like a traditional road marathon.
Along the way, there will be Aid Stations in place with fuel and hydration to help you along the way. Cheer points and music will enhance the experience that is Trail Escape.
At all Trail Escapes there will be an Event Village at the start and finish of each Trail Escape event offering food, drink, and a place for family and friends to enjoy the event whilst you are running.
Friends & family will be able to see you off at the start, maybe see you on the route at a key location and then meet you after your challenge to celebrate with you.
This will be a timed event but not necessarily a race.
While there will be categories for fastest finishers (and KOM / QOM challenges on the way), your goal is to enjoy running or walking on these incredible routes. Stopping to enjoy the views is strongly encouraged.
Forget the pressure of chasing PBs or worrying about split times. Trail Escape is about enjoying the environment we are taking you through on your way to getting that medal for finishing Trail Escape.

As plans are confirmed we will create a list of parking options.
We are working on the basis that the start / finish will be in walking distancr from the centre of the city and close to public transport.
