About the Event

Nestled along the picturesque Huddersfield Narrow Canal, this out-and-back race begins and ends in Slaithwaite, offering runners an immersive journey through natural beauty and industrial heritage. The course follows the canal's winding path towards Tunnel End, where frequent locks create a challenging yet scenic route with numerous ups and downs.
The towpath provides clear navigation throughout the run, making it easy for participants to focus on their pace and surroundings rather than directions. A generous cut-off time accommodates various paces, ensuring that runners of all abilities can enjoy the experience at their own rhythm.
Water and feed stations are strategically placed along the route, providing essential hydration and nutrition without interrupting the flow of the race. The event is designed to be environmentally conscious by operating cup-less; participants are encouraged to bring a reusable bottle or cup for sustainability.
With well-marked signs and supportive marshals throughout, this run offers both challenge and comfort, allowing runners to immerse themselves in the tranquil canal scenery while pushing their limits on an undulating terrain.
