    Race date: 6 July 2025 Race distance: 10km TL;DR This is a smashing race.  I decided after some very enjoyable but not felly recent races that I really needed to do some off-roading, and Great Hucklow ticked all the Sunday-morning-fell-race boxes: medium distance, medium climb, not too far away and not done it before.
