Step onto the dividing line between two great counties with the Two Roses Ultra, a unique ultramarathon challenging you to stride across Lancashire and Yorkshire on June 20th, 2026! Choose your allegiance: tackle the Lancashire Red Rose 50K, a rugged, fell-running delight with the bulk of its elevation packed into the latter half, or opt for the smoother, more road-friendly Yorkshire White Rose 50K, perfect for ultra beginners. For the ultimate challenge, combine both loops for the epic 100K! Starting and finishing in Hebden Bridge, the 100K tests your grit with a brutal climb to Gaddings Dam and the iconic Stoodley Pike, followed by a stunning return through Haworth and Cottingley Woods. You have a generous 24 hours to conquer the combined course in the longest daylight hours of the year. With fully-stocked, vegan-friendly checkpoints, hot food at the central HQ, and a warm community setup, this event is designed to be tough but immensely rewarding.
