This is a walk-or-run event offering up to three looped routes in the Holmfirth area, with start and finish at Brockholes Village Hall, Brockholes, Holmfirth HD9 7EB (GR SE153109). The event is organised by an LDWA group and is open to both LDWA and non-LDWA participants.

Participants may complete one, two or all three loops but must do them in order of length, longest first and shortest last, for safety and course sweeping reasons.
