Holmfirth 10k
The Holmfirth 10k is an open road race organised by Holmfirth Harriers AC on quiet country roads around the Holme Valley. The event distance is 10 km with a total ascent of 211 m (692 ft). Race headquarters is at Hade Edge Bandhall, HD9 2AQ. Entry is limited to 350 runners and the minimum age is 15. Entry fees listed are £17 for England Athletics members and £19 for non members, with an additional £2 on the day.
The current course, introduced in 2022, runs from Dunford Road in Hade Edge up to Harden, then down to Winscar and along the edge of Winscar Reservoir. A climb from Dunford Bridge on Winscar Edge returns runners to Dunford Road, with gentle undulations and a final 2 km descent into Hade Edge finishing with a lap of the recreation ground. The course is undulating and offers views over Winscar Reservoir and Thurlstone Moor.
Race numbers are collected on the day. The Bandhall car park is reserved for officials; on street parking is available nearby and organisers ask that parking does not block drives or access. Prizes are awarded to the first three men and first three women, category winners in veteran age groups, and to the first men’s and women’s teams (three to count). The event supports The Kirkwood hospice and the club will make a donation from the race proceeds. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
