Halifax 10K
Halifax 10K is a rolling 10K in Sowerby Bridge, UK, held each March. Run on fully closed roads from Station Road in Sowerby Bridge in the Calder Valley. The organiser gives the total climb as 79 m over the 10 km, so expect some gentle rises rather than a pancake course. Late March or early April in West Yorkshire is cool and changeable, usually 3 to 11°C at a 09:00 start, with rain or wind possible. With Halifax 10K's constant undulation, pace by effort rather than the watch: even effort beats even splits here.
