21st Regular Irregular
The event on 12 December 2026 offers participants the option to walk or run up to three looped routes in the Holmfirth area, with registration and the finish located at Brockholes Village Hall, Brockholes, Holmfirth HD9 7EB. It is organised by The Irregulars, an LDWA group.
Participants may complete one, two or all three loops but must do them in order from longest to shortest for safety and sweeping purposes. There are cut off times for starting the later loops. Maps and route descriptions are required; the recommended map is Explorer 288.
Distances offered
- Loop A: 11.6 miles / 18.5 km
- Loop B: 7.2 miles / 11.5 km
- Loop C: 4.2 miles / 6.7 km
Advance entry fees are listed for LDWA and non LDWA participants, with a higher on the day fee payable in cash and U16s eligible for free entry when accompanied by an adult. Places are limited to 150 and a wait list operates when full. Entrants receive tea and toast at registration, snacks and cold drinks between loops, a meal at the finish and a certificate; participants are asked to bring their own mug.
The route crosses moorland, urban terrain and roads and takes place in early winter. Mandatory equipment includes waterproof clothing, spare top, suitable footwear, a head or hand torch with spare batteries, a first aid kit, compass, whistle, a survival bag not blanket, and a route description and map. Electronic maps are allowed if downloaded with sufficient power and a backup supply. Participants who retire must do so at a checkpoint and marshals may withdraw participants for safety or schedule reasons. Dogs are allowed but must be under constant control.
