Withins Skyline

Withins Skyline is a senior fell race held on Sunday 11th October 2026 around Penistone Hill Country Park. The senior course is a circuit that visits The Stoop and Top Withins and returns via Bronte Bridge, finishing on the cricket pitch. The advertised distance is 6.2 mile, 820 ft (BM). The route uses tracks, narrow paths and sections of the Pennine Way, passes Leeshaw Reservoir and Drop Farm, and includes boggy plateaux, a gap in a wall onto a paved Pennine Way path, and a final stretch past Middle Intake farm.

The senior race is part of the Woodentops Race Series alongside The Stoop and Stanbury Splash and will use chip timing. There is a cut off of 45 minutes at The Stoop Stone. The senior event is for over 18s only. Entry options include online pre-entry via RaceBest with combined entry for the three Woodentops races or single-race entry, and on-the-day entry is also available; teams of three are free.

Junior races are held separately and include a Curly Wurly goody bag for all juniors sponsored by Precision Pest Management and Halloween-theme fancy dress prizes. A senior prizegiving takes place outside the hut with an extensive prize list covering overall positions, veteran categories, U21, teams and spot prizes; prizes are awarded on the condition of attendance at prizegiving.
