About the race
Set in the high Pennine valleys of Calderdale, this organised hike offers three circular routes running from St Peter's Cricket Club in Sowerby Bridge and out across the surrounding moors. The routes run over tracks and moorland with sections of steep ascent and descent between moor tops. Navigation skills are recommended, especially in poor weather. The event is open to both walkers and runners and has a minimum age of 14.
It raises funds for 24th St Pauls Scouts. Entry is managed through SiEntries and requires prior registration. Route details include ascent figures for the longer courses and practical support on route. The long route involves about 5,500 feet of ascent and the medium route about 3,800 feet of ascent.
A compulsory kit check is required before the event. Support provisions included with entry are refreshments at headquarters and checkpoints, water at roadside checkpoints, transport from roadside retirement points back to headquarters, a hot meal at headquarters, a licensed bar, a certificate of achievement, and a full results sheet. Practical information includes free parking at Ryburn School and roadside parking nearby. Entries and fees are set in advance, with individual and team pricing and reduced team rates available for youth teams. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
