Breezy in Brighouse & Special Solstice Run
The event takes place in Brighouse alongside the Calder and Hebble navigation canal. The course follows the canal towpath as an out-and-back route and is described as not overly challenging, with greenery along the route. The precise venue and start location are to be confirmed and will be central to Brighouse. Parking is available in a pub field for a small charge.
There are multiple distance choices:
- Two Summer Solstice 5k races on the same day
- 5k
- 10k
- Half marathon
- Marathon
The races are licensed by the Trail Running Association. Organisers operate a roughly cup-less system: feed stations are normally placed about every three miles and provide drinks and food; runners are advised to bring a reusable cup or bottle. Large over-ear headphones are banned for safety. Bone conduction or single in-ear pieces are permitted. Participants may encounter unmarshalled road crossings. Bibs are issued at registration on the day.
A 6.5 hour cut-off applies to the event. Support on the course includes marshals, water and feed stations, and finisher items such as a bespoke Solstice medal and post-race cake and other refreshments. Entry fees reported in the event information range from about £16 to £42. Minimum entry ages are listed per distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
