Welcome to the Jackals Trail Race 2020

The Jackals Run is a well organised, beautifully, challenging trail with amazing bling for your efforts plus hot food at the finish line and a bar… What more could one ask for!

There is plenty of parking and the atmosphere of the day is always awesome!

After a tough climb out of Sunnyhurst woods, you will head into the picturesque tockholes forest before taking on Lions Den and Aggies staircase. From there you will head across to the Iconic Darwen Tower where our event photographer will catch a memory of your day with us before a steep and fast descent back into Sunnyhurst!

Of course there is a second lap for those who would like to run the half marathon distance and when you cross the finishline, we will have some awesome bling AND hot food available for you at the Olde English Kiosk!From myself and the Howler team, we look forward to seeing you at the startline on Sun 10 Mar 2019!
