This race has been organised by New Era Community boxing which is registered as a community interest company, based in Northwich, Cheshire. The club has been offering training and support for young people across the area since 2011.
The race is inspired by the Cheshire canal ring route, which the race follows along. Mark, the lead coach from New Era Community boxing completed the route in 2020 and in doing so raised money for Cheshire young carers.
Since completing the route, it has been our ambition to promote the Cheshire canal ring with this event offering the opportunity to take part in a exciting, affordable ultra running event.
