Calderdale Way Ultra
The Calderdale Way Ultra is an off-road event on Saturday 1st May 2027 around Calderdale. It follows the traditional route devised in the 1970s and passes through settlements such as Heptonstall and Mankinholes, and towns including Todmorden and Brighouse. The course uses open moorland, woodland trails, canal sections and occasional road crossings, and offers elevated views above Todmorden and Old Town.
Two route options are offered:
- 50 mile route: starts and finishes in Heptonstall, traverses moorland, woodland and scenic viewpoints.
- 30 mile route: starts at Brookfoot lock, Brighouse and finishes in Heptonstall, with a flatter finish once past the Todmorden climb.
There are six aid stations on the course; the fifth aid station in Todmorden is located between two notable climbs. Cut-off times apply: 17 hours for the 50 mile route to return to Heptonstall, and a 10 hour cut-off for the 30 mile route.
Registration takes place at Heptonstall Social and Bowling Club, Acre Lane, HX7 7LT either the day before or on the morning of the event. Entries close on Friday 16th April 2027; entries are not accepted on the day after that date and a wait list is used. Minimum age to enter is 18. Entry fees are listed by route and membership status.
