Yorkshire Weekend Saunter Series in Kirkstall

The Yorkshire Weekend Saunter Series takes place along the Leeds/Liverpool Canal, with the event base situated at Wyther Lane in Kirkstall, Leeds. This event is designed to accommodate different paces, allowing participants to run, jog, or walk their chosen distance. The routes utilize the scenic landscapes of the Yorkshire countryside and local canal paths.

Participants can choose from three distinct distances:

  • 5 km
  • 10 km
  • Half Marathon

The event is open to various age groups depending on the distance selected. The 5 km and 10 km options are available to those aged 16 and over, while the Half Marathon requires participants to be at least 17 years old. The organizers provide flexible entry options, allowing for both online advance registration and pay-on-the-day entry at the event location.

Each finisher receives a set of rewards upon completing their course. These rewards include a jumble medal, hot food, and a choice between a beer or a soft drink. The atmosphere is centered on a relaxed weekend experience rather than strict competition, though the courses are suitable for those aiming for personal best times. Registration and start areas are located at the Leeds/Liverpool Canal entrance on Wyther Lane. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
