The Hebden

The Hebden 2026, run by the 12th Halifax Sea Scouts, takes place in Mytholmroyd with registration at St Michaels Church Hall. There are two courses: 22 miles and 15 miles. The demanding long route climbs over 4,000 feet, while the shorter route has less ascent but is equally challenging.

The event is described as tough and not suitable for beginners, and is not a marathon. Routes largely follow previous years but may have minor diversions after fallen trees. Winter conditions and navigational ability are essential, along with proper kit.

Entry is £25, entrants capped at 500; refreshments included, transport for retirees; dogs on short leads allowed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
