St Aidan's Winter Beast 2027
The St Aidan's Winter Beast takes place on Sunday 7th February 2027 in Swillington, Leeds and is organised by Even Splits. Race headquarters are at St Aidan's RSPB Visitor Centre, LS26 8AL.
The event is a single-lap trail race of 6.66 miles with a hilly profile and sections off the well-trodden paths. The course includes genuine climbs, an infamous sluice crossing and, weather permitting, cross country mud. It is not suitable for wheelchairs. The minimum age to take part is 15 years old on the day of the race. The race has an entry limit of 300 places and a TRA permit has been applied for.
Facilities at the event include water and toilets. There are no distance markers, no changing facilities, no showers and no baggage storage.
Entry fees are shown as affiliated £20.00 and unaffiliated £22.00. Assuming the event does not sell out, entry on the day may be available for an additional £3.00. If all places are sold or it is less than four weeks to race day, the entry fee will not be refundable. If the race is cancelled, entries will be transferred to a rescheduled date. While places remain and it is more than four weeks until race day, a refund may be requested in writing and will incur a £2 processing charge. There will be no deferrals permitted under any circumstances. There will be no permitted race place transfers after Friday 30th January 2026. Anyone found to be running in someone else’s name will be disqualified and their details passed to UK Athletics. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
