The After-Party - Please join us after the race for a drink and a good old raffle at The Clothiers Arms, Stocksmoor, HD4 6XN. The pub will be open from 11am. Pie and peas will also be available to purchase on the day.

Course:

The course is approx 5 miles long. It starts close to the parking area, heading straight into Storthes Hall Woods for 2 clockwise laps. The course has it all - beautiful woodland, streams, tree roots, plenty of mud, and some not so flat bits…..

It then brings you back into the hospital grounds to finish. There will be lots of marshals out on the course to look after you, along with plenty of tape to follow.

Please be aware that the woods are a popular dog walking spot so look out for walkers too.

Have a fab Christmas everyone! We look forward to welcoming you all in the new year!

Race Venue/HQ:

The race HQ is from Baildon Rugby Club, Jenny Lane, Baildon BD17 6SH

Car Parking:

With the increase in the number of runners we ask that you please car share. There is limited residential parking near the Rugby club as well as a small car park at the club. Please do not block any driveways.

 

There is also a small car park at the Golf Club, further residential parking in the area behind and another small car park on the right towards the moor, past the cattle grid. Please see attached map.

 

The Rugby clubhouse will be open early for number and wristband collection from your Club Rep. Please arrive in good time.

There are limited changing facilities (usually for 30 rugby players!) with post race drinks in the Rugby clubhouse. Please remove/change your muddy running shoes. There will also be the good old raffle (we welcome any donations).

 

Catering will also be available in the Rugby Clubhouse.

 

Course:

The race starts at 10.30am and is the same as previous years on the beautiful Baildon Moor, near Baildon Golf Club which is a 5-minute jog from our Rugby Club HQ. Trail shoes will be fine unless we get a lot of rain before the race where a better grip would be advantageous.

 

Check out the course on https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/7708200195

 

The start will run up the side of the 18th golf fairway, but we anticipate golfers will not have reached the 18th by 10.30am. They will however be using the nearby 1st tee and we ask that you respect our good friends at the Golf Club doing their chosen sport and keep away from that area.

 

 

 

It's the moment you've all been waiting for...

 

Entries for the new season open on Friday at 10am.

 

Please don't sign up unless you have affiliation to either England Athletics or British Triathlon and have paid your yearly membership fees to one of the 16 league clubs. We do check!

The course is 5.6 miles long and is mainly on woodland paths and tracks.

Please listen to and take notice of Marshals instructions - They are there to ensure your safety. Anyone wearing headphones will be removed from the race for this reason.
