Widdop : A classic high moorland event, Widdop Fell Race. A proper midweek, fell running toughie, the race is set on the stunning hills overlooking Widdop Reservoir.
Beginning at The Pack Horse Inn, the race begins with a fast paced dash down the road, picking up the trail to the moorlands. You’ll take in 7 miles and 1,200ft of Calderdale’s finest fells, before finishing with a dash back up towards the newly reopened Pack Horse Inn. The race is fully flagged. Full kit may be required.
