West Yorkshire Winter League

West Yorkshire Winter League (WYWL) 2026-27

The West Yorkshire Winter League is a team and individual trail running series held across six races between November and January. A season pass priced at £20 grants entry to all six races; entries close on 25/10/2026. Entry is limited to fully paid-up members of the league's clubs who are aged 17 and over and affiliated to England Athletics or British Triathlon.

Courses are trail terrain with a hilly profile and single lap formats, with typical distances around 5 - 6 Miles. The series is licensed by the Trail Running Association and has an overall entry limit of 1000 competitors. Chip timing was introduced in the 2024/25 season. The league includes team awards (Male, Female, Vets 35+, Super Vets 50+ and Overall) and individual awards across male and female categories and age groups; winners cannot claim two awards and male/female top-three takes priority.

Facilities at venues vary; listed provisions include toilets but no water, showers, changing rooms or baggage storage. Competitors participate at their own risk.
