The Calderdale Hike | 16 Mile Run

The 46th Calderdale Hike  will be held in 2026 and will be open to all entrants of 14 years of age or overon the day of the hike. 16, 24 & 35 mile routes, open to both runners and walkers. There are, however, some steep ascents and descents as the route takes you from moor top to moor top. The event, run every year since 1979, raises money for 24th St Paul's Scouts and the work they do with young people of this town. The long route of 35 miles involves some 5500 feet of ascent, whilst the medium route of 24 miles has 3800 feet of ascent and the short 17 mile route has 2700 feet of ascent. The routes start (registration & kit check as well) at Sowerby St Peter's Cricket Club as usual. As some of the terrain is harsh, the organizing committee recommend that navigation skills are required, especially if the weather is inclement.
