A new Spunch venue and area - we bring you the best bits of Macclesfield - great running and walking in mostly green spaces as you pass through the towns parkland via good canal and riverside trails, connecting streets and surrounding countryside, with a few checkpoints in the towns bustling centre. Even locals may discover parts that they don't normally reach!
Plentiful parking close to the cafe bar event centre. Food and drink available from the bar after your run / walk, to be enjoyed either indoors or outdoors.
A particularly good one for families, friends and newcomers as the terrain is more "gentle" than some of our recent hillier outings. Give the kids some fresh air during their summer holidays? What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Macclesfield?!
With around 100 Spunchpoints to go for, and a 3 hour option to consider, could you get the lot?!
Hope you will come along and give it a go.
