Course and facilities
The route is an out-and-back that starts in the centre of Hebden Bridge. Runners follow a steep climb onto trail, then a relatively flat section across the moor past Stoodley Pike. Terrain includes sandy and rocky trails and sections with stone slabs, and the route passes reservoirs before reaching the turnaround at the White House pub car park. The return follows the same route, with a downhill into the finish.
The course is marked with flags and includes a tail runner and a halfway checkpoint. Marshals are positioned along the route. There is a water station at the turnaround and at the finish offering water and squash. A secure baggage store is available. There are town car parks and limited free parking; Hebden Bridge train station is about a 10 minute walk from registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
