Routes and logistics

The event starts and finishes at the community centre in Old Town. The Red Rose route crosses into Lancashire and passes Worsthorne, Townley Park, Cliviger, Gaddings Dam, Stoodley Pike and Hebden Bridge; it is described as more technical and exposed. The White Rose route runs toward Haworth, Keighley and Bingley, and passes through Cottingley Woods, Ogden Water and Leadbeater Dam; it includes more woodland and road sections. The 100 km option completes both loops, with the community centre serving as the mid-way checkpoint where runners may use drop bags and obtain hot food. Runners on the second half of the 100 km must carry a headtorch from the mid-way point. The 100 km has a generous 24 hours to complete and includes a final checkpoint at Leadbeater Dam. Local travel notes mention a bus link between Hebden Bridge train station and Old Town and limited street parking in the village. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
