THE ROYTON TRAIL MULTI-TERRAIN RACE

STOP PRESS!

With just over two months before we are due to host The Royton Trail race & given the ongoing situation with the Covid-19 pandemic, it will probably come as no surprise that the Royton Road Runners committee has taken the decision to cancel this year's event. We have looked at alternative dates later in the year but given the uncertainty around the requirements for social distancing have decided that the 2020 event is to be cancelled rather than postponed, with the next edition of The Royton Trail now scheduled to take place on Wednesday 14th July 2021.


An e-mail has been sent to everyone who has already pre-entered this year's race.


We apologise for any disappointment that this decision causes but hope that everyone will understand our rationale.


If you have any enquiries please feel free to email the Race Director.

RACE HISTORY

The Royton Trail race was first held on 18th July 2007, with a field of 72 runners.
The first race winner was David Lockett of Salford Harriers.

The race has grown in popularity over subsequent years, with 253 finishers on 10th July 2019 - when Rob James (Royton Road Runners) defended his title he won in 2016 & Sarah Thomas (unattached) won the ladies race for the first time.
