The Three Counties Trot
Our flagship race, the Three Counties Trot, takes place every November and is a highlight of the Billinge Running Club calendar. This 5-mile route showcases the classic trails our club is known for—scenic, varied, and a little bit muddy! It’s a fun and friendly event that welcomes both beginners and seasoned runners, offering a great mix of challenge and camaraderie. Whether you're racing for a time or just out to enjoy the atmosphere, the Three Counties Trot is not to be missed.
