Entry on the day fees are £6.00 (members) and £8.50 (non-members), subject to a race limit of 200 entrants; the 2024 event reached capacity so day entries were not taken. Minimum age is 18.

Participants are encouraged to use public transport; Mytholmroyd has a train station on the Leeds–Manchester Victoria line and is one stop from Hebden Bridge.
Course and requirements
The route starts on the bridge next to Burnley Road Primary School and climbs through fields past Hill House Farm, up to Heights Road and Wicken Hill. The course crosses open moorland via Midgley Moor and includes Crow Hill, the Luddenden Valley, a steep climb onto the moor, and sections of the Calderdale Way before returning along the initial ascent to the woods at Mytholmroyd. The race is licensed by the Fell Runners Association under UKA rules and is a non-GPS event for navigation purposes; GPS may be used to record a route but not to aid navigation. FRA mandatory minimum kit is compulsory and will be checked before number allocation: waterproof jacket and trousers (taped seams), hat (not a buff), gloves, map, compass, whistle, and emergency food.
