Two Roses Ultra
Hebden Bridge, United Kingdom • 20 Jun 2026
Two Rose Ultra
The Two Rose Ultra is a long-distance running event held in the border region of Lancashire and Yorkshire. The race headquarters is located at the Wadsworth Community Centre in Old Town, a village situated above Hebden Bridge. Participants can choose between three distinct distances:
- 50 km (Red Rose Ultra)
- 50 km (White Rose Ultra)
- 100 km (Two Roses Ultra)
The 50 km Red Rose route is characterized as a technical, rugged, and exposed course. It passes through Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall, following sections of the Calderdale Way and Pennine Way. Key landmarks include Widdop Reservoir, Townley Park in Burnley, and Stoodley Pike. The 50 km White Rose route features a mix of woodland and road sections, passing through Haworth, Keighley, Bingley, and Cottingley Woods. Notable sites on this loop include Ogden Water and Jerusalem Farm.
For those undertaking the full 100 km distance, the race consists of both the Red Rose and White Rose loops. Runners return to the race headquarters at the halfway point, where they can access a drop bag and hot food.
The event provides GPS tracking, timing services, and free downloadable race photography. Checkpoints along the course are vegan-friendly and well-stocked. All finishers receive a bespoke medal. In the event a 100 km participant must withdraw, they are still eligible for a medal and finish time if they have completed the first 50 km loop.
