A tough, high moor route around Saddleworth Moor visiting 15 local Reservoirs. Each participant must navigate themselves around the route, visiting each checkpoint in the correct order. The 15 Res Ultra Marathon is the spicier of 3 different distance routes – 60 kilometers with 1876 meters of climbing. You’ll get 12 hours to complete, but keep an eye on the cut offs, though. 5 checkpoints will keep you going with 3 indoor ones and of course, the welcome pie and peas at the finish.
The route heads through the boulder field, north to Castleshaw, eventually reaching Marsden where the 10 res’s route is followed over Black Hill and the infamous Toolyshaw Moor to Crowden. Then it’s a final climb to Laddow Rocks before heading back home.
