About the Event
Chasing Sunsets Hike & Trail Run: Rivington
Join us for a magical evening adventure as Chasing Sunsets heads to the iconic Rivington Pike and winds its way through the beautiful Rivington Terraced Gardens.
Our Chasing Sunsets events are all about seeking out spectacular viewpoints where the sky comes alive in colour - and Rivington delivers just that.
Expect rolling hills, open moorland, historic pathways, and panoramic views stretching across Lancashire as the sun dips below the horizon.
What to Expect
Each Chasing Sunsets route covers approximately 4 miles, but this isn’t about pace or personal bests. It’s about:
Fresh air and feel-good movement
Plenty of laughs and social vibes
Capturing unforgettable sunset photographs
Sharing the experience with others
Hikers and runners start from the same location, setting off in opposite directions along carefully planned routes. You’ll pass each other along the way — the perfect moment for a fun group photo with that awesome sunset as our backdrop!
Our fully qualified Hill and Moorland team bring a wealth of experience and local knowledge. We’ll take care of the planning and navigation so you can focus on soaking up the views and enjoying the journey.
Bring your energy, your camera, and your sense of adventure.
Kit requirements:
Specific details and requirements for each Chasing Sunsets event will be emailed prior to the date however, for the the majority of events, it maybe requested that you bring the following:
• Waterproof jacket
• Spare warm layer
• Fully charged mobile phone
• Suitable trail shoes or boots
