Gods Own Backyard Ultra Fall

Leeds, United Kingdom • 14 Nov 2026

Gods Own BYU Fall - Hunters Greave, Leeds

Gods Own BYU Fall is a backyard ultra held at Hunters Greave, Pollard Lane, Hawksworth, Leeds (LS5 3BF) on 14 November 2026. Competitors must complete a 4.167 mile loop every hour; runners who do not finish the loop within the hour are recorded as a DNF. The event continues until a single runner finishes a loop alone and is crowned the champion.

The course is mixed terrain with elevation gain on each lap, combining canal towpath, farmland trail, woodland trail and tarmac paths. A modified night loop uses a tarmac canal towpath to avoid crossing the canal in the dark. Aid provisions include hot and cold drinks, fruit and sweets at the start/finish area; participants are advised to bring their own nutrition.

Facilities at the venue include camping, toilets and first aid cover, with limited campervan spaces available by arrangement. The route is fully waymarked and marshalled. All participants receive a bespoke Yorkshire goodie bag; t-shirts and hoodies are available for purchase during the event.

Entry details on record include an 18 year minimum age and an entry fee of £80. The event is part of the Backyard Ultra series and offers a route to the BYU Championship. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
