Heights Ultra Trail

We wanted to inspire our community to become more active, and for them (and those from further afield) to discover the ‘not so hidden’ beauty that is on their doorstep by creating a true ‘trail’ ultra. We think we have succeeded and in doing so, have created breath-taking challenges that stretch both bodies and minds and showcase this most beautiful and rugged part of Yorkshire. This year we have scaled down the entertainment and stalls, however, we still have lots of things planned on the day to keep families and children entertained whilst you do your thing in one of our 4 challenges. We hope that this will really enhance your HUTFEST experience both before you start and certainly once you have finished!  Please use the opportunity to bring your friends and family to support you and to make the most of your HUT day. We would like to remind you that this is a charity event to try and raise funds for local rural primary schools, we must thank you for showing your support for the HUT and reminding us that WORKING TOGETHER WE CAN REACH NEW HEIGHTS. I hope this guide gives you a clear idea of what to expect on the day and also some tips on how best to prepare. We hope you will be inspired to run your best race on HUT day and thereafter to get out and train in beautiful places whether here or elsewhere for your next challenge ahead. Good luck, whichever event you are taking part in, we can’t wait to welcome back those who are taking on their 5th consecutive HUT challenge and for those experiencing the HUT for the first time. See you all in 2026. Andrew Swales & Neil Hill. HUT RD’s
