The Round Res

About this event

The Round Res takes place at Scammonden Water, a reservoir northwest of Huddersfield, and offers a distinctive team relay format. Three runners work together over a 15km course that loops the reservoir, with each teammate joining at different stages. The first runner tackles 15km solo, then the second joins for 10km together, and finally all three complete the last 5km side by side, crossing the line as a team. The route circles the water, providing consistent reservoir views throughout. While marketed as a relay challenge requiring strategy and team selection, the 15km total distance and rolling terrain make it accessible for clubs looking to build camaraderie. Teams compete in either men's or ladies' categories, and clubs can enter multiple squads. It's an interesting twist on the traditional relay format.
