routes
HARD
Easter Gate, March Haigh and Black Moss Reservoirs
16.8km · 349m climb · Loop
You string together three reservoirs and a stretch of the Pennine Way on quiet moor tracks, with the whole of Marsden Moor opening out around you and almost nobody else about.

HARD
Marsden 10 Mile Challenge
16.4km · 357m climb · Loop
It is the whole of Marsden Moor in one loop - Wessenden, Standedge and the reservoir chain - on ground that carries centuries of packhorse and canal history, and you can run it door to door from the train.
No car needed
HARD
Stairway to Heaven from Wessenden
13.8km · 342m climb · Loop
The stepped pull out of Wessenden that gives the route its name delivers you straight onto the roof of the moor, with the whole reservoir valley dropping away behind you in one go.
