Pennine Trails began in 2019 when I set out to create welcoming trail races in beautiful places across the North West. What followed was six years of memorable events, incredible trails and a brilliant community of runners who helped turn a small idea into something far bigger than I ever imagined.
While I’m no longer organising the races myself, the events will continue under new hosts who will carry them forward. Pennine Trails now continues in a new capacity through race photography, capturing the good times on trails in and around the Pennines. All images are free to download and use, but if you’d like to support my chosen charity, The Samaritans – a cause close to my heart – you can do so via the link below.

The Pennine Trails events were held between 2019 and 2025, becoming some of the most loved trail races in the region.
This page exists to preserve the history of each event, including past results, race background and photography – while helping runners find future editions as they are announced.
Pennine Trails is no longer the event organiser, but the spirit of the races lives on through the runners, volunteers and new hosts who continue them.
