Zoo to Fell is a point to point Marathon and 50K Ultra in Lancashire, beginning in Blackpool and heading towards Beacon Fell. The route leaves the urban surroundings behind and progresses into open countryside, giving both distances a strong sense of journey from start to finish.
Runners can expect a varied mixed terrain course using country roads, canal towpaths, grass trails, riverside paths, farmland and loosely paved sections. Both the Marathon and 50K Ultra follow a changing landscape as they make their way towards Beacon Fell, with varied surfaces and increasingly rural surroundings adding to the long distance challenge.
Zoo to Fell is suited to runners looking for a distinctive Lancashire Marathon or 50K Ultra with plenty of variety underfoot. The point to point format, mixture of road and off road running and transition from Blackpool into the countryside give the event its character, with Beacon Fell providing the destination for the journey.
