Location: Macclesfield, England

Discover Macclesfield with this challenging 5.2km loop, starting on Windmill Street. The initial climb towards the golf course offers a brisk start on paved surfaces, graduating to scenic footpaths as you ascend to the route's highest point. Expect varied terrain, transitioning from grassy sections and occasional muddy tracks to a steeper descent through farmland, leading to the River Bollin.

This route provides an excellent workout, combining urban pavement with rural paths. After crossing the river, you'll join paved sections again, passing the historic aqueduct before a pleasant towpath run along the canal. Ideal for local runners seeking a varied training run with significant elevation gain and a mix of road and off-road surfaces.
