About the race
Runners start from Granary Wharf in Leeds city centre and follow the Leeds Liverpool Canal towpath out through Kirkstall and beyond. The course is flat and out-and-back on a good trail surface, offering a calm, traffic free route with canal side views. Races are Trail Running Association licensed and held under UKA rules. Aid and drink stations are positioned approximately every 3 miles and the event is fully marshalled.
The race finishes include a bespoke finisher medal and post-race treats. Race bibs are collected on the day at registration near the canal, where toilet facilities are also available. Travel notes describe the start area as immediately behind Leeds Station. There is no parking at the start and finish area; several city centre car parks are within walking distance and car sharing is recommended.
The event operates as a cup less event, so participants are asked to use a reusable bottle or cup at feed stations. Safety information notes that large over ear headphones are not permitted for safety reasons; bone conduction or single ear use is allowed. There may be unmarshalled road crossings on the route. Transfers and deferrals can be managed via the organiser up to seven days before the event.
Runners who need to retire or require assistance should inform the nearest marshal. - 10K - 10 Miler - Half Marathon - 20 Miler (2 x 10 mile laps) - Marathon (2 x half marathon laps) - Ultra Marathon (2 x half + 10K). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
