In short: Hard but enjoyable race
In full: 130 of West Yorkshires finest set out for the Calderdale Moors via Steep Lane (to call a lane "steep" in this area means it's steep!). The race raises funds for St Peters Church and the good people of the congregation take care of the organisation including tea and cakes for finishers.
Will be back next year!

In full: ... then this cheeky little race is perfect. When not admiring the views, you're gritting your teeth to climb upwards or watching your footsteps as you fly down. Excellent organisation, a challenging course, good value and great cake :)
