Winter Canal Canter
Winter Canal Canter is a multi-distance running event held at Rodley Cricket Club, Canal Bank Sports Ground, Moss Bridge Road, Rodley, Leeds LS13 1PQ. Races are Trail Running Association licensed under UKA rules and follow the Leeds & Liverpool Canal on a largely flat, canal-side course.
Distances include:
- 10K
- 10 Miler

The course is fully marshalled and signed. Lap arrangements vary by distance: 10K, 10 Miler and Half Marathon are one lap; the 20 Miler is two 10-mile laps; the Marathon is two half-marathon laps; the Ultra combines two half-marathon laps plus a 10K. Feed and drink stations are provided at approximately every 3 miles with items such as water, soft drinks, biscuits, sweets, crisps, cake and fruit; participants are asked to bring a squashable cup to reduce plastic waste.
Practical arrangements include morning race registration with bib collection (safety pins supplied), bag drop in the event van or clubhouse, and parking in the cricket club field when available for a £5 cash contribution to the club; street parking is an alternative and should be used considerately. Over-the-ear headphones are not permitted; bone conduction or a single earbud may be used. There may be some unmarshalled road crossings, so participants must follow marshal instructions and take care. Booking closes when full or five days before the event. The race brief is issued five days prior and posted on the organiser's Facebook group. Results may take up to 24 hours to appear on the organiser's website.
