Stanza Stones Winter Edition

Stanza Stones Winter Edition is a 24‑hour, 50‑mile ultramarathon staged by CraggRunner, running from Marsden in West Yorkshire to Ilkley. The route traverses the South Pennines moorland and visits the six Stanza Stones, each bearing a Simon Armitage poem tied to water, with names such as Snow, Rain, Mist, Dew, Puddle and Beck. Participants cross Haworth and Ilkley Moor, totaling about 6,600 feet of ascent.

The event offers live tracking, indoor checkpoints with food and drink, medical support, a finishers meal and memento, plus Friday and Saturday registrations and optional extras like coach transport and apparel. Hat recommended. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
