Five Trigs

Participants navigate a challenging route around Delph and Saddleworth, visiting five local trig points via footpaths and trails, including parts of the Pennine Way. The event requires self-navigation, with unmapped checkpoints to be reached in order using map and compass skills. Runners and walkers follow different start procedures, and three manned checkpoints provide refreshments. Full kit—including waterproofs, map, compass, and spare clothing—is mandatory for all participants. The event tests endurance, navigation, and mountain skills, offering an opportunity for athletes to experience a demanding and self-reliant adventure.
