Description

This route links two of the UK’s most iconic city centres: Piccadilly Circus in London and Manchester Piccadilly Station, forming a direct connection between the cultural, political and economic heart of the South and the industrial powerhouse of the North. It traverses a remarkable cross-section of England, passing through historic market towns, greenbelt countryside, canal paths, and the post-industrial backbone of the nation.

The journey is urban, rural, and psychological — a true point-to-point ultra endurance challenge that tests navigation, resilience, and pacing over a long, continuous road run. With most foot traffic or attention focused on north–south motorways or rail, this self-powered line between two major hubs is symbolic of sustainable, human effort across a traditionally car-dominated route.This route links two of the UK’s most iconic city centres: Piccadilly Circus in London and Manchester Piccadilly Station, forming a direct connection between the cultural, political and economic heart of the South and the industrial powerhouse of the North.
