As well as being a great opportunity to get active, the event will 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!

Headscarf Pride is the very successful and only social media dedicated to the Headscarf Revolutionaries and the Triple Trawler Disaster of 1968. After the loss of three Hull trawlers and 58 men, Lillian Bilocca, Yvonne Blenkinsop, Mary Denness and Christine Jensen MBE led the Hessle Road Women’s committee, campaigned for better safety on ships, and saved countless lives with the greatest act of civil disobedience of the 20th century. These women are true legends and deserve a permanent statue in the city of Hull. Headscarf Pride is on Facebook, X, Instagram and LinkedIn. To donate to its statue fund, please visit its GoFundMe page.
