The Stoop is a festive 5 mile fell race organised by Wharfedale Harriers at Penistone Hill Country Park near Haworth, West Yorkshire. The route climbs approximately 250m across open moorland to the Stoop standing stone, with Santa hats and Christmas themed prizes adding to the atmosphere.
Runners start at the quarry bottom and follow tracks past Drop Farm and Harbour Lodge before climbing through heather towards the standing stone. The return crosses boggy ground and descends towards the cricket pitch finish. Steep sections, uneven footing and exposed moorland make this a challenging short fell race.
Part of the Woodentops Race Series, The Stoop features chip timing, individual and team prizes, and refreshments after the finish. Separate junior Quarry Runs take place beforehand, providing shorter races for younger athletes around the old quarries at Penistone Hill.
