Starting and finishing at The George Inn, the single lap course passes through fields, woodland, conservation land and the historic Quaker village of High Flatts.

The well marshalled route covers approximately 700 feet of ascent, creating an enjoyable challenge for both recreational and club runners. Junior races also take place earlier in the day, while the event village at The George Inn features live music, refreshments and the race's well known homemade flapjack for every finisher.

Its mix of runnable trails, steady climbs and picturesque countryside makes it an excellent choice for runners looking for an enjoyable late summer trail event in West Yorkshire.
