Two Roses Ultra
The Two Roses Ultra is a long-distance running event held in Hebden Bridge, offering participants the opportunity to traverse the landscapes of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Based at the Wadsworth Community Centre in Old Town, the event provides three distinct distance options exploring the surrounding counties.
Participants can choose from the following course options:
- 50 km (Red Rose route)
- 50 km (White Rose route)
- 100 km (Two Roses figure of eight route)
The Red Rose course heads from the event headquarters toward Burnley. The route passes through the village of Worsthorne and Townley Park before turning back toward Cliviger. Runners encounter a climb to Gaddings Dam and Stoodley Pike before returning to the start point.
The White Rose course travels toward Haworth and over to Bingley. This section features Cottingley Woods, characterized by its greenery and waterfalls, and continues past Ogden Water and across the moor toward the finish line.
The 100 km option combines both loops in a figure of eight format. This distance has a total time limit of 24 hours. The event is scheduled for midsummer to provide runners with maximum daylight. Registration is open to all individuals aged 18 and older. The venue at Wadsworth Community Centre provides a central location for registration and the transition between the two loops for those completing the full distance.
