The 2026 Route

The race starts and ends at Blacksnape Playing Fields in Darwen. The route is run in an anti-clockwise direction, with left turns making up almost the entire course. The course follows the Darwen Half route up to Bull Hill at which point, it separates across trail and path before re-joining the course route on Blacksnape Road (just up from the Old Crown and Thistle).
