2 OCT 2010: RIVINGTON TRAIL HALF MARATHON & 3KM, HORWICH
A single trip up to look at the possibilities of a trail event from Rivington was enough to convince us that this would be a great venue and a great Trail Run - and so it turned out - it was a great day and fabulous route.
The HQ is at Rivington & Blackrod School and start and finish in 2010 will be on the school playing fields.
As a particularly attractive path along the side of Angelzark to White Coppice is now accessable we have made a change to the 2009 route.
From the start on the school field you will run up and under Rivington Pike before dropping down to Sheep House Lane rather than doing the loop back to the start as last year - dropping down the footpath next to the road to the village cafe.
You'll cross the road here and through a gate and on to Yarrow Reservoir where drinks station 2 will be (8km) and on to the side of Angelzark Reservoir. From the top of the lake the new route will continue on to White Coppice, cross the river and return to pick up the trail around the east side of Angelzerke Reservoir to the top end of the lake (drink station 3).
On the west side of the lake you take the footpath up hill to Grey Heights and left on to the bridleway running south above the lake, eventually getting to the dam.
Cross the dam and back up to Yarrow Reservoir (drink station 4) and retrace your steps back to Rivington. After a short distance on Rivington Lane run up to the back of the Barn anain and return to the start/finish line.
