West Yorkshire Trail Run
The West Yorkshire Trail Run takes place within the landscaped grounds around the 18th-century Harewood House, covering more than 100 acres of parkland, woodlands and lakeside scenery. The course runs across rolling estate terrain and forest trails, with views from higher points across the property.
Runners can choose from these distances:
- 22k route - 262 m elevation gain
- 13k route - 188 m elevation gain
- 8k route - 102 m elevation gain
The route follows Wall Side Plantation and climbs gently to Sugar Hill for wide estate views. It passes close to the Emmerdale set, then continues towards Eccup Reservoir, the largest body of water in West Yorkshire. The return sections run through Carr Plantation and Piper Wood and pass a lakeside before arriving back at the estate.
Event services include chip timing, on-course refreshments and water stations, fully signed routes, course marshals and first aid cover. Participants receive a metal finisher medal, a finisher goodie and a personalised certificate. The event is managed without single-use plastic at water stations, and course signage uses pink arrows and pink tape while hazards and junctions are marked with caution signs. Spectators are welcome.
