The Canalathon Ultra on 22 March 2026 includes 100km, 50km, Half Marathon and 10km distances in Sowerby Bridge, Yorkshire.

The 100km is a scenic 'out and back' course from Sowerby Bridge along well-maintained canal towpaths with minimal elevation. It passes through rural Yorkshire before heading to the dark satanic mills of Manchester in the industrial heartland of Lancashire then back again. Faint hearts need not apply. Run solo or complete the distance as a relay - teams of 4.

The 50km is a fast and flat run along the historic Rochdale Canal towpath that starts in Ancoats, Manchester and ends at Sowerby Bridge.

Supporting distances include a Half Marathon and 10km. These courses take in the Yorkshire end of the famous Rochdale Canal.

This is a fully marshalled event - no navigation is needed.
