The 10 & 3-mile Trail Races

About this event

Near Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire, these trail races explore the unique character of the Calder Valley, where canal towpaths meet moorland edges. The 10-mile route covers varied terrain between industrial heritage and open heath, while the 3-mile option offers a gentler introduction to the area's landscape. Stone mills stand below, heather spreads above, and the historic Rochdale Canal's lock flights provide natural intervals. With Halifax and Huddersfield nearby and good train connections, it's an accessible escape into the hills. Post-run, the local cafés serve proper buttered teacakes and strong tea—a fitting reward after tackling the valley's climbs.
