Fell Running in West Yorkshire

The Hebden is a winter fell running event organized by volunteers from the 12th Halifax Sea Scouts. The race takes place across the moors above Mytholmroyd near Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire. Both race distances begin with a single mass start.

Participants navigate terrain across the fells and moors, with the course known for its muddy conditions. The event headquarters and registration are located at St Michael's Church in Mytholmroyd. Because the event is managed by local volunteers, the organizers do not issue formal finishing places in their public results archive.

The event offers two distinct course lengths:

  • 15 miles
  • 22 miles

The longer 22 mile route includes additional elevation gain and mileage compared to the shorter distance. Registration for the winter race typically opens several months in advance. The event headquarters maintains a strict nut-free policy for the safety of volunteers and attendees. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
