The Yorkshire Weekend Saunter in Brighouse is a friendly trail running event offering 5K, 10K and half marathon distances. Part of the Yorkshire Weekend Saunter Series, it gives runners a choice of shorter and longer challenges within a relaxed format designed to welcome a broad range of abilities.
The routes are generally flat and follow accessible trail paths around the Brighouse area, providing straightforward running without the sustained climbing found at many trail events.
