Now in its’ third year BtB is both a charity fundraiser for East Cheshire Hospice and a great community event. We have people taking part from local businesses, churches, sports clubs, voluntary organisations etc
The route takes in some beautiful Cheshire countryside and participants are provided with plenty of refreshments!
Â
Last year about 40 runners ran the 15 mile trail route including quite a few Harriers.
A good time was had by all followed by lunch at Wilmslow Rugby Club
Â
It would be really good if Macclesfield Harriers club members could get involved with BtB in some way

Trinity House physio practice visit the track, generally on the first Tuesday of each month to provide free diagnostic advice and sports massage to MH club members.
Alternatively, club members can arrange to visit Ross Whiteside at the practice on Cumberland Street for a free diagnostic/advisory consultation.
Over the years this has been well used and is a great bonus for club members. Since the end of the GO magazine, club members may no longer be aware of the service. They've also generously provided massage services at many of the club's races.

Steve Lomas has kindly come up with 3 dates and venues for some bespoke Hill Training sessions for the club.Â
He felt it was prudent to hold the sessions after the clocks go forward and the dates chosen shouldn’t clash with either the road and fell champs.Â
The dates are as follows:
