About This Event

The Striders Trail 5 is set to return to Sankey Visitors Centre in Warrington on Sunday 1 November 2026. This 5km trail run takes participants through local woodland and along the canal towpath, with entry strictly limited to 250 runners. The event, organised by a local running club, welcomes individuals of all abilities, though the off-road course features uneven terrain and a number of inclines, making it suitable for those seeking a challenge beyond road running. The run will start from the visitors centre, offering a convenient and scenic base for the morning. Full details regarding entry fees and registration can be found on the organisers’ website. With its manageable distance and varied route, the event promises an enjoyable yet testing experience for both seasoned trail runners and those new to off-road racing.
