Escape the everyday with a tranquil 5k run along the Grand Union Canal in Charnwood. This flat, off-road route begins near Moor Lane, guiding you predictably along the towpath directly to the charming Pillings Lock and back again.

Great flat trail course (muddy in areas) done in the winter sunshine!
