Stoodley Pike from Mytholmroyd — 8.9 km Running Out-and-back

Embark on a challenging and rewarding run to Stoodley Pike from Mytholmroyd, a true Calderdale classic. This 8.9km route, though largely paved for much of its ascent up Cragg Road, offers a significant challenge with 302m of elevation gain. As you climb, you'll be treated to increasingly expansive views of the dramatic valley, culminating in the iconic Stoodley Pike monument itself.

Ideal for those seeking a strenuous training run or a bracing hill workout, this out-and-back journey provides a proper test for your legs. The return leg via Daisy Bank offers a slightly different perspective, ensuring your descent is as engaging as your climb. While not an off-road trail run, the sheer elevation and stunning scenery make this a truly memorable experience.
