Organiser's Description
Welcoming everyone to our 5th installment of the Calderdale Way Ultra taking you along the Calderdale Way trail following clear and visible trail markers. This 50 mile route explores the wonderful hills moors and valleys of Calderdale, encircling Halifax, Hebden Bridge, and Todmorden following old packhorse ways across open gritstone hillsides with sections of traditional stone causeway, passing through hillside villages and old mill towns on the banks of the River Calder.
You have the option to complete the full 50 miles, or enter our 30 mile event that will start you further along the Calderdale Way, still finishing with everyone else in Heptonstall.
50-mile Ultra

With a generous 17 hour cut-off, don't forget to take in all the wonderful sights as you run. There are two non-negotiable cut-offs however so make sure you get to Withens Clough (checkpoint 5) by 7pm, and Great Rock (checkpoint 7) by 11pm.
