Pennine Bridleway PB50
Pennine Bridleway Trail Challenge series
Next edition: Saturday, 20 March 2027Hayfield, England
The current official entry and January 2026 participant pack confirm the 20 March 2027 50K Hayfield loop, 1,654m ascent, £52 standard fee, three staffed food checkpoints, substantial mandatory navigation and safety kit, and Hayfield Cricket Pavilion as start and finish. The common 21:00 closure creates different elapsed windows, so no single cutoff is stored; the required headtorch and closure after sunset establish partial night exposure. Outside support and pacers are prohibited.

Race For You difficulty
3.9/ 10
Moderate
Moderate evidence confidence · 69% evidence coverage
This score is driven most by exposure and self-sufficiency. Difficulty V2's separate time-limit modifier adds 0.00 points here and is capped at 0.70; a broad limit cannot erase extreme intrinsic demand. This is independent of the public Cutoff Pressure V2 band.
Weather, conditions and individual preparation can change the real difficulty significantly.
