Halifax Urban Trail 2027
The Halifax Urban Trail is a unique trail race of just over 10K, taking place on Easter Monday, March 29th, 2027. This will be the second staging of the race.
The route begins at Shibden Park and follows tracks and paths to Beacon Hill, a viewpoint above Halifax. Runners then descend into the town and pass through several landmark buildings and spaces. The course includes a subterranean passage under Shibden Hall and runs through Halifax Minster, the Piece Hall, the Borough Market, and Dean Clough Mills. The route also includes access inside Halifax Town Hall. Several places on the route are not normally open to the public.
The race is organised to raise funds for the local Calderdale hospice Overgate. The event is licensed by England Athletics and is registered as a charity.
Entries for 2027 open on December 1st. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
