Today was the first day of the 'Hell of a Hill' event in which you can run 5 marathons in 5 days around the hills of Rivington. It's a grueller of an event and not for the faint hearted. Here, Simon and Jimmy Kirkby pass the Pigeon Tower as they head up to Rivington Pike on their first of five laps.
Road section of the 'To the Pike and Back Half Marathon' organised by Time2Run. Start and finish at Moss Bank Park, Bolton and a run that takes you up to the TV mast and Rivington Pike and back down the same route.
The 10k Mast Race in Bolton saw this chap win the race by a country mile. This shot was in the first mile and he already had a big lead over all the field. Here he is nearing the top of Smithills Dean Road.
Today, I took my daughter with me for the final day (of 5) of the Hell of a Hill event at Rivington.
It was a good thing as I had her to hold her hand out for 'high 5s for power boosts' for the runners. She duly complied as did many of the runners. It's the little moments like this that will stay with me forever and I hope that one day she might be inspired and take up a sport.
Hell of a Hill marathon is a very tough 26 mile route around Rivington and the pike but no matter how tired the runners are, they soon change when they see a camera pointing at them.
This is Dave Rowley finishing 6th in just over 5 hours...
Kudos Dave.

My daughter was so happy to offer 'high 5's for power boosts' to many of the runners at the Hell of a Hill event in Lancashire.
I couldn't of asked for a better day to take pictures of some of the runners taking part in the Hell of a Hill Marathon at Rivington.
