CALENDAR

This race is mostly flat on river side paths and canal towpaths. Warm up will be on the athletics track, not on the surrounding roads.

The start/finish is a 5 minute walk from the track. Runners will be walked down to the start at 7:15pm.

The race starts with a slight descent down the Hebble Trail (Tarmac path) before joining the canal tow path. Just before the 3 mile point the route turns left over a bridge and then follows a river side path for about 1.5 miles. Then it’s back onto the canal and back up the Hebble Trail. The route will be well marshalled and part flagged on the river side path.

Water will be available at the finish only.

Parking: There will be marshalled parking on site.

Refreshments: Tea / coffee and biscuits will be served in Spring Hall after the race.
