The Rip ‘n’ Run XL features 40 mile and 80 mile Ultra Marathon routes starting from Wadsworth above Hebden Bridge. The courses combine open moorland, countryside tracks and quiet country lanes, passing through some of Calderdale’s most scenic landscapes including the area around Stoodley Pike.
The 40 mile route provides a challenging step up from 50K racing with over 5,000 feet of elevation, while the 80 mile option completes the course twice to create a demanding endurance challenge. Both races offer a varied mix of terrain with expansive moorland views, long runnable sections and classic West Yorkshire hill country throughout.
