Leeds Canal Side Run

Leeds, United Kingdom • 6 Mar 2027

Leeds Canal Side Run

The event starts at Granary Wharf in Leeds and follows the Leeds to Liverpool Canal towpath on a flat, out-and-back course. The route runs through Kirkstall and beyond on good trail and towpath surface, providing traffic free, canal-side scenery.

Multiple race distances are offered:

  • 10K
  • 10 mile
  • Half marathon
  • 20 mile (2 x 10 mile laps)
  • Marathon (2 x half marathon laps)
  • Ultra marathon (2 x half plus 10K)

Aid stations and feed points are placed approximately every three miles and the course is fully marshalled. Race bibs are collected on the day at registration near the canal alongside toilet facilities. The event operates cup-less feed stations and asks runners to use a reusable bottle or cup. Large over-ear headphones are not permitted for safety; bone conduction or single-ear use is allowed. There may be unmarshalled road crossings on the route.

The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association and held under UKA rules. There is no parking at the start area; several city centre car parks are within walking distance and car sharing is recommended. Transfers and deferrals are managed by the organiser and deferrals are permitted up to seven days before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
