Breezy in Brighouse & Special Solstice Run
The event takes place alongside the Calder & Hebble navigation canal in Brighouse. The exact venue is to be confirmed, but the route runs mainly on canal towpath and is an out-and-back course that passes through a green, riverside stretch. The start location will be central to Brighouse and parking is available; parking in the pub's field is charged at £5 and proceeds go to the pub. Car sharing is recommended.
There are four distances on offer:
- 5 km Summer Solstice, two separate runs
- 10 km
- Half marathon
- Marathon
Entry fees range from £16 to £42 depending on distance. The event has a 6.5 hour cut off. Feed stations are normally placed at around every three miles and provide drinks and food; organisers aim to be cup-less so participants are asked to bring a reusable cup or bottle. Marshals will be present on the course and finishers receive a bespoke Solstice medal, cake and other goodies. Bibs are issued on the day at registration. The races are licensed by the Trail Running Association. Large over-ear headphones are banned; bone-conducting or single in-ear options are recommended. There may be unmarshalled road crossings on the route. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
