2019 Bluebell Trail

A challenging 10.3 mile multi-terrain race through woodland, canal towpaths, trails and cobbled streets with the occasional hill here and there.  This unique course incorporates some of the most scenic views within the heart of Yorkshire and a refreshing river crossing to finish!

*Please note, to ensure the safety of marshals and volunteers, particularly those in the river, there will be a cut off point at approximately 7.5 miles. Any runners not making this point by 12pm will be withdrawn from the race and will not have times recorded.*

Please ensure you are able to make this cut off before entering the race.

There is also an overall cut off time of 2 hours 45 minutes.

The race will start at 10am. Please also note that the race is on the same day as the Tour De Yorkshire cycle race which sets off from the Piece Hall in Halifax, and entrants should bear this in mind and give themselves extra time to get to Heath Rugby Club as traffic may be heavier than usual.

Race limit of 500.  

Toilet & shower facilities in the clubhouse.  

Hot food & drinks available before, during & afterwards.  

There will be family entertainment during & after the race. Further details to follow on our Facebook page

The local bridge that was damaged in the 2016 floods is now back in full operation so we are back to using the original route.
