Wadsworth Half Trog
Wadsworth Half Trog is a fell race taking place on the moors around Hebden Bridge. The course covers 9.3 miles (15 km) with approximately 1,400 ft (420 m) of ascent, and it uses varied moorland terrain that can include muddy sections. The race route is only partially flagged; the course is flagged at the start and from one of the late checkpoints to the finish, and there are multiple checkpoints along the route.
The event is based at Wadsworth Community Centre, Old Town, Hebden Bridge (HX7 8RY). Parking at the venue is very limited and car sharing is encouraged. Organisers also encourage arrival by public transport; Hebden Bridge has rail services and a local bus (service 595) provides onward travel to Old Town. Pre-entry is available with different fees for FRA members and non-members, and entry on the day may be possible up to the race limit of 200. Minimum age to enter is 18 years.
The race is licensed by the Fell Runners Association under UKA rules and is designated a non-GPS navigation event. Competitors must carry FRA mandatory minimum kit including waterproof full body cover (waterproof jacket with hood and waterproof trousers with taped seams), hat or buff, gloves, map, compass, whistle and emergency food. A kit check is carried out before number allocation and competitors without the correct kit will not be allowed to race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
