Calderdale Crawl

The Calderdale Crawl is an organized 24 mile walk or run held on Saturday 1 August 2026, starting and finishing at Heath Rugby Union Football Club near Halifax. The event is arranged by the LDWA Calderdale group and takes place on footpaths through woods, tracks and fields with a short stretch beside the River Calder and a canal.

The route includes checkpoints, with a midway indoor checkpoint at Ripponden and other checkpoints outdoors. A route description and GPX file will be made available before the event. Refreshments are provided at the start and en route, and a meal is provided at the finish; participants are asked to bring their own mug to reduce waste and plastic use.

A certificate and a memento are given to all finishers. Free car parking is available on site. Discounted entry fees apply to LDWA members; published entry fees are £14 for LDWA members and £19 for non-members. LDWA membership is noted as costing from £15 per year.

Any young person under 18 must be accompanied by an appropriate adult, parent or guardian. Dogs are welcome when owners keep them under full control; dogs may not be allowed inside the rugby club and owners should note LDWA requirements regarding liability insurance for dogs.
