The Huddersfield Hurtle

The Huddersfield Hurtle in Kirklees invites runners to test their speed and endurance on a flat, fully certified trail course on 13 February 2027, with a marathon and a 5K at 08:30, a half marathon at 09:00 and a 10K at 10:00. All distances start beside the River Colne at Chapel Hill, Huddersfield.

The route is an out-and-back along the canal towpath linking Leeds and Liverpool: expect a flat, scenic path suitable for runners of all levels. The surface is in good condition but can be icy or slippery in places, so take great care. Food and drink stations are set up roughly every 3 miles, and the course is fully marked and marshalled to keep runners supported and safe. All races follow Trail Running Association and UKA guidelines.
