Location: Frodsham, England

Embark on the challenging 56.8 km Sandstone Trail Ultra, a point-to-point journey from Frodsham to Whitchurch, showcasing Cheshire’s undulating landscapes. This route, with 820m of ascent and largely unpaved, begins with a steep climb up Frodsham Hill, offering expansive views before transitioning to woodland paths and varied farmland. Be prepared for mud, especially after rain, and keep an eye out for refreshment stops like The Sandstone Cafe near the halfway point.

Ideal for experienced trail runners seeking a long-distance challenge, this route combines firm tracks, soft forest trails through Delamere, and the testing ascents of the Peckforton and Bickerton Hills. While the final section includes some less appealing farmland, the majority offers rewarding scenery, culminating with a pleasant stretch along the Llangollen Canal into Whitchurch. It's a superb option for pushing your endurance in a beautiful rural setting.

Great run with varied trails. Farm fields after Lackerton Hill weren't much fun though, hard going and tricky route finding.
