*Current course. The course has had several minor changes in recent years. For the purposes of these records minor variations on the Helsby, Dunham, Mouldsworth, Manley, Alvanley course are considered the same course. The elevation gain is unchanged, a key factor influencing times. The older ‘marshes’ course though rougher underfoot in parts, was considerably flatter.
