What you’re in for

The Rock Up n' Run format: register from six, pay on the night if online entries have closed, run, then collect a jumble medal and a drink. It is a club night with a bib rather than a race weekend, and it is pitched that way. A summer evening 5k or 10k from Chapel Hill. The course starts at Chapel Hill by the River Colne in Huddersfield and follows the canal and the river out of town on an out-and-back, turning at a marshal. Park in the town-centre car parks, not at the start, and the bus station is a twenty-minute walk.

Terrain and trail

Surfaced towpath and riverside path, flat, with ramps at the locks and a few bridges to duck under. Town-edge canal running: some industrial stretches, some green ones, and quick ground throughout. The February edition can be icy in places and the organiser warns of it. Feed stations roughly every three miles with drinks, sweets and cake, and the events are cup-less, so bring your own cup or bottle. A GPX is supplied and not every junction has a marshal, so know where the turn is. Over-ear headphones are not allowed, and some road crossings are unmarshalled.
