The Headscarf Hustle

Join us in 2025 for the Headscarf Hustle - a 4-mile event for the whole family, in honour of Hull's Headscarf Revolutionaries. Run or walk together to celebrate all the women who make a difference in your life. The Headscarf Hustle is a 4-mile run/walk which takes place across the iconic Humber Bridge. Starting from the Humber Bridge Country Park (Ferriby Rd, Hessle, HU13 0HB) You can also join us VIRTUALLY! The event is open to everyone – adults and children. And all abilities – you are welcome to run or walk the four miles. Take part solo or bring your family or a group of friends/colleagues (sorry no dogs). We do recommend that any child taking part in the event follows the UK Athletics guidance about age suitable distances. Younger children in buggies are welcome too (no bikes/scooters, please). Note that the event will not be timed, but if you would like to record your time, you certainly can. As well as being a great opportunity to get active, the event is a fundraiser for Headscarf Pride. A portion of your £8 entry fee will be donated to its campaign for a statue in memory of Hull's Headscarf Revolutionaries – the four women who campaigned to improve safety at sea after the Triple Trawler Disaster of 1968 and saved countless lives as a result. At the 4-mile Headscarf Hustle, walk or run a mile for each of these four inspirational women!
