Want to get outdoors whilst raising money for the Staffordshire Moorlands Community?

We Love the Moorlands is delighted to announce the inaugural 3 Town Trail Challenge which brings together the towns of Leek, Cheadle and Biddulph. In future years, the challenge will involve a one-day route taking you in a circle between the 3 towns which totals 39.5 miles!

For 2022, due to Covid restrictions, there will be no one-day event but supporters will be able to take on the Challenge in 1 day or over a period of a month, in June 2022. Most will walk, many will jog, some will run, and others may cycle. The choice is entirely yours. You could cover 39.5 miles wherever you chose but why not explore the beauty of the area and familiarise yourself with these 3 Moorlands towns by including a visit to each of them?

For those who like to track their activities online, there is a Community Foundation for Staffordshire Club with a 3 Town Trail Event on Strava where you can track the activity you do, find suggested routes and add photos. Alternatively, if you want to take the challenge at a more leisurely pace over the month and maybe involve the family, then the Trail Information email will include suggested routes and a table with combinations of routes which could be used to make up the 39.5 miles, or for younger children a half route of 20 miles.
