Do You Like My Bingley Baubles
The Do You Like My Bingley Baubles is a winter trail running event held along the historic Leeds & Liverpool Canal in West Yorkshire. The course is primarily flat and follows a well-surfaced canal towpath, making it a fast route for those seeking personal bests. Participants navigate the scenic surroundings of the canal, with the only significant elevation changes occurring at the iconic 3-Rise and 5-Rise Locks.
The event offers several race distances to accommodate different experience levels:
- 5k
- 10k
- Half Marathon
- Marathon
The marathon course consists of two laps of the half marathon route. All races are chip-timed and licensed by the Trail Running Association under UKA Rules. Because it is a festive event, participants are encouraged to wear Christmas-themed fancy dress.
A cup-less policy is in effect to reduce waste, requiring runners to bring their own reusable bottles or cups for use at feed stations. These stations are positioned every 3 miles and provide water, sweets, and other treats. The course is fully marshalled and signed, though runners should remain aware of minor road crossings.
Facilities are located at Bingley Rugby Club, which serves as the hub for parking and toilets. The registration area is approximately a 10-minute walk from the start line. The venue is also accessible by public transport, located 1.5 miles from Bingley Train Station. Every finisher receives a bespoke festive medal and post-race goodies.
