Runners, hikers and trail adventurers are invited to take on the stunning landscapes of the Colne Valley at this year’s Heights Ultra Trail, returning on 6 September. The event will once again start and finish at Colne Valley High School in Linthwaite, Huddersfield and offers a choice of four distances to suit all levels of endurance and ambition.

Among the highlights is the HUT 10K, a scenic figure-of-eight course that winds through the local countryside and is fully marked for ease of navigation. Whether you’re looking for a new personal best or a memorable run in beautiful surroundings, this race promises an enjoyable challenge.

For those looking for something more demanding, the event also features a 27K Wessenden route across open moorland, a 50K Ramsden trail built for serious ultra-runners and long-distance walkers and the formidable 50-mile Scammonden course that tests even the most experienced endurance athletes.

This year’s event will also feature HUT Fest and Gala Day, a lively celebration of local culture and community spirit running alongside the races at Colne Valley High School. Families and supporters can look forward to a full day of entertainment, food, creativity and fun. Organisers are currently welcoming local stallholders, artists, face painters, balloon artists, kids’ entertainers and charities to be part of the festivities.
