Holcombe 10

Holcombe 10 is a trail running event offering 10K and 10 Mile routes across Holcombe Moor in collaboration with the National Trust. The event starts and finishes at the Hare & Hounds in Holcombe Brook, Ramsbottom (400 Bolton Rd West, BL0 9RY). This edition of the event has been cancelled.

Routes pass through Redisher Woods and include a climb to Peel Tower, runnable sections on bridleways, and stretches across the moor by Beetle Hill. The 10K route contours to Pilgrims Cross, crosses Harcles Hill and then descends back from Peel Tower to finish via Redisher Wood Nature Reserve. The 10 Mile route contours around Bull Hill, passes the mosses toward Crowthorn and Quarlton Heights, crosses Red Brook and ascends to Pilgrims Cross to rejoin the finishing section.

A finisher memento is included. Water stations are listed at Peel Tower and at the National Trust ranger base at Chatterton Close. Minimum age for entry is 18. Entry fees stated for the event are £25.00 for the 10K and £28.00 for the 10 Mile. The event is organised by The Sunnywood Project, a non-profit organisation; proceeds contribute to its youth and community outdoor programmes including Kindling Kids, Duke of Edinburgh Award programmes and the SPACE programme for children with SEMH needs.

The organiser recommends carrying weather-appropriate and safety kit such as a waterproof layer, warm layer, hat and gloves, 500 ml water, suitable trail footwear, a foil blanket, whistle and a fully charged mobile phone with mapping capability.
