Our night-time no-mud* Street Spunch Series continues - this time in Congleton. A particularly nice one this given that the Congleton Christmas Lights will be making the town centre look super-lovely! And from the excellent town-centre Foundry, we will make sure the town centre itself is fully-loaded with well-illuminated SpunchPoints!
Run, jog or walk - suitable for road runners, trail runners, park runners, fell runners, adventure runners, orienteers, walkers, newcomers, and families alike. 2k to 20k, the choice is yours! Great for families and friends to do together. Suitable for all ages and abilities - lots of help available for newcomers. Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a lead and under control at all times.
Start at your convenience anytime between 545pm & 7pm. Registration open from 530pm. Wear hi-visibility clothing and bring a torch / head torch!
Navigating with an enhanced and simplified 1:10,000 OO street map, visit as many checkpoints as you can in the time available, S-punching using the MapRun app on your smartphone, Garmin or Apple Watch.
Explore the area's quiet streets and snickets and well surfaced trails through the town's green spaces. In addition to the town centre, you might visit Congleton Park, run alongside the River Dane, or visit sections of the Biddulph Valley Way and the Macclesfield Canal (weather permitting). Even locals will likely discover new paths and places!
An excellent choice of food & drink available after your run / walk, including the TOTALLY TENNER MENU DEAL a meal and a pint, wine or other drink for £10. The Foundry and the whole CMQ site is child friendly. Well behaved dogs welcome too.
