About the race
Stanza Stones Winter Edition is a 24-hour, 50-mile ultra-route from Marsden, West Yorkshire to Ilkley, taking runners along a moorland traverse through the South Pennines. Participants visit the six Stanza Stones—each inscribed with a Simon Armitage poem tied to the theme of water—while crossing notable moorland terrain and passing Haworth and Ilkley Moor. The course features over 6,600 feet of ascent, offering a demanding, scenic challenge that tests endurance and navigation.
Organized by CraggRunner, the event provides live tracking, indoor checkpoints with food and drink, medical support, a finishers’ meal and memento, and end-to-end registration options. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
