Course and facilities
The route is an out-and-back that passes Stoodley Pike and reaches the car park at the White House pub as the turnaround point. It begins with a steep climb onto the trail, then flattens across moorland and continues over sandy and rocky trails and stone slabs. The return follows the same course, finishing with a descent back into the town centre. The course is marked with flags and includes a tail runner and a halfway checkpoint. Marshals are placed along the route. There is a water station at the turnaround point and another at the finish. A secure baggage store is provided.
Logistics
Hebden Bridge train station is a 10-minute walk from registration. Main bus stops are on New Road. Parking in town can be limited, and there is very limited free parking in local car parks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
