Gods Own BYU Fall
Gods Own BYU Fall takes place on 14 November 2026 at Hunters Greave, Pollard Lane, Hawksworth, Leeds, LS5 3BF. The event follows the Backyard Ultra format: competitors set off on the hour every hour to complete a single 4.167 mile loop and must finish the loop within the hour to enter the next one. The bell is sounded on the hour and anyone who has not reached the starting area before the bell will be disqualified and recorded as a DNF. The last person to complete a loop alone is crowned the champion.
The course has elevation gain on each lap and combines canal towpath, farmland trail, woodland trail and tarmac paths. A night lap uses a tarmac canal towpath to avoid crossing the canal in the dark. The route will be fully waymarked and marshalled.
Facilities at the venue include camping, toilets, hot and cold water, fruit, sweets and first aid cover. A Yorkshire Goodie Bag is provided for all participants; t-shirts and hoodies are available for purchase. Camping and parking are available at the start/finish with limited campervan space by prior arrangement. The nearest rail access is Kirkstall Forge, a short walk from the venue. Participants must be 18 or older. Entry fee was £80 and entries closed on 15 October 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
