Wadsworth Half Trog
The Wadsworth Half Trog is a fell race around Wadsworth near Old Town, held on 8 November 2026. The course is about 9.3 miles (15 km) with approximately 1400 ft (420 m) of ascent. The route uses varied moorland terrain and may be muddy. The route is only partially flagged; it is flagged at the start and from the penultimate checkpoint to the finish.
The race is licensed by the Fell Runners Association under UKA rules and is run as a non GPS event for navigation. Competitors may record their route with a GPS device but electronic navigation aids are not permitted for regular use. FRA mandatory minimum kit is required, including waterproof full body cover (waterproof trousers and a waterproof jacket with an integrated hood and taped seams), a hat or buff, gloves, map, compass, whistle and emergency food. Kit checks take place before number allocation and incorrect or missing kit will prevent participation.
Location details list Old Town as the race area, with Race HQ to be confirmed. Organisers encourage public transport; Hebden Bridge is well served by trains from several regional towns and the 595 bus runs from the station to Old Town, with the Heights Road stop a short walk from the golf course registration area.
Pre entry fees and on the day fees differ for FRA members and non members, and entries may be limited to 200 runners. Minimum age is 18. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
