Holcombe 10

Holcombe 10

Holcombe 10 is a trail event offering 10K and 10 Mile race options across Holcombe Moor in collaboration with the National Trust. The event is based at the Hare & Hounds in Holcombe Brook, Ramsbottom, Bury BL0 9RY.

The routes start from the Hare & Hounds and pass through Redisher Woods before a steep climb to Peel Tower. Runners follow a bridleway onto the moor by Beetle Hill and then take different contours and ascents depending on distance.

• 10K route contours to Pilgrims Cross and crosses Harcles Hill.
• 10 Mile route contours Bull Hill, passes Crowthorn and Quarlton Heights, and crosses Red Brook.

A finisher memento is provided. Water stations are located at Peel Tower and at the National Trust ranger base at Chatterton Close.

Organisers specify a minimum personal kit list to be carried as appropriate for weather and safety. This includes a waterproof jacket and trousers, a spare warm layer, hat and gloves, the ability to carry at least 500 ml of water, a fully charged mobile phone with OS Maps or OS Locate, suitable trail shoes or boots, a foil blanket, a whistle and personal snacks.

Volunteer opportunities are available via a short form. Proceeds support The Sunnywood Project's youth and community programmes such as Kindling Kids, Duke of Edinburgh Award activities and the SPACE programme for children with SEMH needs.
