Leeds Canal Side Run at Granary Wharf
Leeds Canal Side Run is a set of organised off-road races that start at Granary Wharf and follow the Leeds Liverpool Canal towpath through Kirkstall and beyond. The course is flat and laid on good trail and towpath surfaces, described as traffic free with canal-side views.
Aid and drink stations are provided approximately every three miles and the event is fully marshalled. The races are Trail Running Association licensed and held under UKA rules. Finishers receive a bespoke medal and post-race treats.
Registration is handled on the day close to the canal alongside toilet facilities. The nearest train station is Leeds Station, with the start located behind the station. There is no parking at the start and several city centre car parks are within walking distance; car sharing is recommended.
The event operates cup-less feed stations to reduce waste, so runners are asked to use a reusable bottle or cup. For safety, large over-ear headphones are not permitted; bone conduction or single-ear use is allowed. Marshals can assist runners who are injured or wish to retire, and there may be some unmarshalled road crossings on the route. Transfers and deferrals are managed through the organiser and are subject to the event rules.
