Race Description
One mile race around scenic Heaton Park for athletes of all abilities, no matter if you are an intermediate level or a serious reverse runner. Separate races for men, women and seniors (over 40). There will also be a charity Fun Run for juniors and adults with the emphasis on giving it a go and challenging yourself, whether you run it or just walk it backwards.
It may sound like a daft thing to do, but taken seriously backward running can be a potent weapon in your training and research has shown that it has massive potential in areas of fitness, well-being and rehabilitation. If you’re looking to reduce the risk of injury, a stronger, more balanced lower body, a challenging workout, better posture or an exercise to aid rehabilitation, backward running could be for you.
