The Moors The Merrier

The Moors the Merrier is a festive 21-mile circular running and walking event held around the moors of Hebden Bridge, starting and finishing at Hebden Bridge Golf Club. The anti-clockwise route traverses Midgley Moor, Wadsworth Moor, Heptonstall Moor, and Erringden Moor, featuring 3,900 feet of ascent and culminating with a challenging climb back to the golf club. Participants enjoy panoramic views of the Calder Valley and benefit from well-stocked checkpoints, including the famed Jumble Hole.

The event fosters a warm, festive atmosphere with mandatory Santa hats and gift exchanges, post-race hot meals, showers, and a clubhouse bar. Navigation skills are required as the route is unmarked but supported by GPS files and live tracking for safety. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
