You have the option of 30 or 50 miles with this spectacular race around an iconic route.
50-mile option- starts and finishes in Heptonstall. Travelling over open moorland and woodland trails, taking in some of the more scenic views from above the mill town of Todmorden and Luddenden Dene, as well as the less popular canal sections and built-up Brighouse, as well as the odd road crossing.
Be sure to make full use of the 6 aid stations, especially the one in Todmorden nestled between two hills, we like to affectionately call little and big bastard. (if you know, you know.)
You have 17 hours to get back to Heptonstall for some hot food, the bar will be open until 9 pm
You can have a drop bag at Withens Clough checkpoint, which is at 36 miles.
Cut-offs are 7 pm at Withens Clough checkpoint, and 11 pm at Gret Rock checkpoint which is mile 47.
30-mile route starts at Brookfoot lock, Brighouse and follows the same route back to Heptonstall, meaning you still get the killer climbs in Todmorden, but once you reach the top its all flat!
