About the Event
The Link 6 Mile Challenge fundraiser for Margaret Haes Riding Centre.Â
The Village Link connects all of Bury’s historical villages and is mainly on trail paths passing by a series of iconic landmarks, woodland and open meadow - truly showcasing the stunning green spaces around the town.

This 6 mile route passes through Nangreaves and Ramsbottom, finishing in Holcombe.Â

The event is  about completing the challenging distance with the camaraderie of other like-minded people around you, while raising valuable funds for Margaret Haes Riding Centre – there should be no desire to ‘beat’ anyone or break any records and our friendly guides and teams will be there to offer a supportive pep talk when required.Â
