Calverley Chaos

Calverley Chaos is a trail race held on 20 May 2026 in Rodley, Leeds. The single-lap course covers 12 kilometres on undulating terrain and holds an ARC race licence. Entry is limited to 100 participants.

The route combines sections along the Leeds Liverpool Canal known as the Canal Sprint, inclines at Woodhall Hills, and the atmospheric trails of Calverley Woods. After the first 100 metres the field splits, with roughly half running clockwise and half running anticlockwise on the same route. Permanent blue, yellow and green footpath markers are present on the course; additional pink markers are added on race day.

Race headquarters and the start and finish are at The Railway Inn, Calverley Bridge, Calverley, Leeds LS13 1NR. Facilities listed for the event include water, toilets and baggage storage. There are no distance markers, changing facilities or showers. The organiser is Great Owl Running. The event is not suitable for wheelchairs.

A range of entry options is offered, with prices from £18.00 to £35.00 depending on affiliation and extras such as a medal or tee. The published fees include race charges and administration; if places remain, entry on the day is available for an additional £2. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
