The Cragg Challenge 2026

The Cragg Challenge 2026 is a combined running and cycling event held on Cragg Road (B6138) in Mytholmroyd, HX7 5AF. The road will be closed for the official events, which use a start and finish area adjacent to Royd Ices. Registrations on the day take place at the Royd Ices building next to the start and finish area.

All official events are timed. The cycle ascent includes an electronic clock at the summit synchronized to the start to provide an official ascent time. There are restricted entry numbers for each event.

Planned events and distances include:

  • 10 mile run
  • 10K run
  • 5K run
  • John Jones Memorial Mile (1 mile)
  • Cycle Ascent
  • Cragg 60K Sportive
  • Cycle Time Trial
  • Oliver Collinge Climb school relay

The Cragg 60K Sportive is a fully marked cycling route that begins with a climb and finishes with a descent into Cragg Vale; the route includes rolling hills and descents. The Oliver Collinge Climb is organised as a school relay and entries for that event are handled through local schools rather than general event registration.

Refunds are not offered for entries in line with the event terms and conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
