Heights Ultra Trail HUTFEST27 : Broad Oak Cricket Club, Huddersfield
Heights Ultra Trail is a charity trail running festival held in the Colne Valley near Huddersfield on Saturday 18 September 2027. The event features marked routes across Yorkshire moorland, reservoirs, and Pennine trails and is licensed by the TRA under UKA rules. It supports local rural primary schools and raises funds for community causes and local rescue teams.
Distances offered:
- 50 Mile Ultra Trail
- 50KM Ultra Trail
- 27KM Trail Run
- 10KM Trail Run
Longer routes include multiple checkpoints and feed stations located at sites such as Holme Village, Holme Moss Summit, Wessenden Head, Standedge Cutting, Clough Head J&I School, and Deer Hill End Road. Feed stations provide sandwiches, fruit, hot food, snacks, and hot and cold drinks. Routes are waymarked with signage, arrows, and flags; ultra entries include a waterproof route map. Open moorland sections require basic navigation awareness. Organisers enforce cutoffs on longer routes for safety; the 27KM and 10KM events have no time limit.
Mandatory kit is required for ultra entrants and includes waterproof clothing, warm layers, a water container, compass and whistle, a bivy bag, a mobile phone, money, and a torch for the longest event. Kit checks take place at the start and finish. Main parking is at the event centre; the nearest station is Slaithwaite with local bus connections. Professional photographers will be on course with optional purchases available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
