Warrington Way About the Race Route Information How to Enter Results and Records
Introduction to the Warrington Way
The Warrington Way is a 40-mile ultramarathon trail race that starts and finishes in the lovely Cheshire village of Lymm. Runners follow a predominantly trail-based route on tracks, footpaths, field crossings and country lanes to circumnavigate the town of Warrington anticlockwise. The route is waymarked with markers, though runners must carry maps and be able to navigate. There are well-stocked checkpoints at the 10, 21 and 30-mile points. A hot meal is provided at the finish for all runners, and finishers also get the coveted Warrington Way technical T-shirt (if ordered in advance) and medal. The race is a club-organised event, we are UK Athletics registered, and the race is licensed by the Trail Running Association, with oversight from Warrington Borough Council.
