Wadsworth Half Trog
Wadsworth Half Trog is a fell race of 9.3 miles (15 km) with about 1400 ft (420 m) of climb. The route uses the best terrain of the full Trog but over a shorter distance. The course runs over moorland and rough ground and can be muddy.
The event takes place on 15 November 2026 with race base at Wadsworth Community Centre, Billy Lane, Old Town, Hebden Bridge HX7 8RY. Grid reference SD 998285 and what3words ///consoles.loads.expect are provided for the location. Parking is very limited and car sharing is advised.
The route is only partially flagged; it will be flagged at the start and from CP8 to the finish. The course includes multiple checkpoints with grid references along the moor and a finish at SE 009 273. Competitors are asked not to recce the moors on a Saturday because there are regular shoots.
The race is licensed by the FRA under UKA rules and is run as a non GPS race. GPS devices may be used to record a route but electronic navigation aids are not permitted; anyone who uses GPS to navigate to safety must declare themselves non-competitive at the finish. FRA mandatory minimum kit is compulsory and checked before numbers are issued.

Not having the correct kit will prevent participation.
