Course and logistics
The route is a point-to-point traverse of gritstone moors around Haworth, Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. Distance is 51 km / 31.7 miles with approximately 1340 m / 4396 ft of climb. The course is remote and may be affected by winter conditions; in exceptional circumstances the organisers may reduce the course to a 21 mile bad-weather route.
Full FRA mandatory kit must be carried, plus a foil blanket or bivvy bag, an additional long-sleeved thermal base layer (not to be worn at the start) and a minimum 0.5 litre water carrying capacity. All competitors are issued with trackers. There are six feed stations on course and hot food and drinks at the finish. Cut offs are applied so the event finishes by 18:00. Waterproof route maps are available for purchase and organised reccy runs take place in the months before the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
