Calderdale Way Ultra

The Calderdale Way Ultra is a challenging trail running event held in Heptonstall, offering two distance options: 30 and 50 miles. The 50-mile race starts and finishes in Heptonstall, traversing open moorland, woodland trails, scenic views above Todmorden and Luddenden Dene, canal sections, and urban areas like Brighouse. Runners benefit from six aid stations and a drop bag option at the 36-mile Withens Clough checkpoint.

The 30-mile route begins at Brookfoot Lock, Brighouse, sharing much of the same terrain but with a flatter finish. The event features strong community support, facilities including baggage storage and a kit swap, and a welcoming atmosphere with hot food and a bar post-race.
