About the race
Two Roses Ultra is a multi-option ultramarathon based at Wadsworth Community Centre in Hebden Bridge, crossing parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Participants may choose one of two separate 50 km routes or complete both in a figure-of-eight 100 km route.
Distances
- 50 km - Lancashire route (Red Rose)
- 50 km - Yorkshire route (White Rose)
- 100 km - Figure-of-eight combining both routes
The 100 km route heads from the event centre toward Burnley, passing the village of Worsthorne and Townley Park, then toward Cliviger and up to Gaddings Dam and Stoodly Pike before returning to Hebden Bridge. After a short break at the centre, the route continues toward Haworth and Bingley, passes through Cottingley Woods and Ogden Water, then crosses open moorland before descending to the finish. The course includes road sections, moorland, and a notable climb to Gaddings Dam and Stoodly Pike.
Organisers allow 24 hours to complete the 100 km. The event is scheduled in midsummer to maximize daylight. Entry details note a minimum age of 18 and published entry fees: youth (U23) £20, Red Rose £55, White Rose £55, and 2 Roses £100, with an instalment option for the 2 Roses entry. The event is organised by She Strides Events and is based at Wadsworth Community Centre, Hebden Bridge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
