Rothwell Kebabathon
Rothwell Kebabathon is a trail running event based at Leeds Skelton Lake Services off the M1 J45. The route starts behind the services and leads into Rothwell Country Park, covering woodland, riverside paths, grass trail and some road.
The course includes one moderate undulation that provides a view of Leeds city centre. Multiple distances are offered:
- Marathon: five 5 mile loops plus a 1.2 mile out and back
- 20 Miles: four 5 mile loops
- 15 Miles: three 5 mile loops
- 10 Miles: two 5 mile loops
- 5 Miles: one 5 mile loop
On course support includes water and feed stations roughly every 3 miles. The event aims to be cupless and encourages reusable cups or bottles. Marshals provide encouragement and guidance on the route. There may be unmarshalled road crossings; large over ear headphones are not permitted and alternatives include bone conducting headphones or single ear use.
Finish area items include a bespoke medal, kebabs, and hot and cold drinks. The event has a 6.5 hour cut off and welcomes both walkers and runners. For each participant, 50p is donated to the RSPB. Free parking is available at the services and car sharing is encouraged to reduce environmental impact. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
