INFORMATION

If you enjoyed the BIG Heptonstall Fell Race (in the snow) you're going to love its 'Little' brother, the Heptonstall Festival Fell Race! One of Calderdale's few category A races – 1500 ft of lung-busting ascent over six back-breaking miles!

It’ll be just like it was in 2012 except you’ll be a year older. Never mind, console yourself with a race in some of the best scenery the South Pennines can provide.

Starting in the hilltop village of Heptonstall, the route plunges deep into a neighbouring valley before finding its way to the top of a nearby peak. It then returns in similar fashion. So yes, that does mean you finish with an almighty uphill struggle.

There’s a right mix of terrain. Cobbles to start with then some grassy fields, muddy slopes, rocky bridleway and open moorland, some of it pathless. Look up occasionally and you’ll get some great views.

And it’s a festival race. Which means that once you’ve finished there’ll be all sorts of Heptonstallery going on that’ll need investigating. You’ll probably want a beer too...
