Brighouse is a town nestling within Calderdale, West Yorkshire or historically West Riding of Yorkshire. Famous for the Brighouse and Raistrick Brass Band. We may not have a band playing but we do hope to put some umph in your day. The event will take place alongise the Calder & Hebble navigation canal. This part of the canal is very pretty with lots of greenery along the way.
The course is on canal towpath and not overly challenging. There will be 4 distances to choose from and the route will be an out and back, giving you the chance to say hi to some of the other runners. We're going traditional on this one 10k, half marathon and marathon & Ultra Marathon There is a 6.5 hour cut off so plenty of time for you to enjoy the day and room in these events for all abilities.
There are plenty of water and feed stations located on the course, to make sure you're fully hydrayted and fuelled by sugar! You'll also meet some of our wonderful marshals along the course who'll give you lots of encouragement. All finshers will recieve a bespoke medal, lots of lovely cake and other goodies. We pride ourselves on enabling a social space so please stay and chat with us and your fellow runners.
Please note that bibs will be given out on the day of registration.

During the race important things to note:
We try to be cup-less: Our feed stations are normally around every three miles and offer drinks and a range of food, but please bring your own re-usable cup or bottle.
Headphones: Most of our courses are off-road, but we still prefer you not to wear earphones, and due to on-course incidents, we have taken the decision to ban large over-ear headphones. These block out any other sounds and don't allow runners to hear marshals, vehicles, or other users of the route. If you do need to wear earphones, then please use bone conducting earphones or "one in one out" in-ear pieces. Please note there may will be unmarshalled road crossings.
Transfers/Deferrals: You can self-serve your transfer on our website upto 1 week before the event
