Calverley Chaos

Leeds, United Kingdom • 4 Oct 2025

Calverley Chaos is a 12-kilometre trail race on the Calverley Millenium Way Footpath in Leeds, around Calverley and Rodley. The undulating single loop follows public footpaths and the canal towpath, with around 200m of elevation. A distinctive feature is that runners cover the loop in both directions—clockwise for some and anticlockwise for others—while the course is fully marked and marshalled at key points (pink markers added on race day). Race HQ is The Railway Inn at Calverley Bridge, offering water stations, toilets and bag storage. Organized by Great Owl Running, entry options include affiliated or unaffiliated, with medals or tees available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
