Gods Own BYU Fall
Gods Own BYU Fall takes place on Saturday 14 November 2026 at Hunters Greave, Pollard Lane, Hawksworth, Leeds LS5 3BF. The event follows the Backyard Ultra format. Competitors set off on the hour every hour to complete a 4.167 mile loop and must finish each loop within the hour to be eligible for the next. If a runner fails to complete the loop in time they receive a DNF. The event continues until a single competitor completes a loop alone and is crowned the champion.
The course is not flat and includes elevation gain on each loop. Surfaces include canal towpath, farmland trail, woodland trail and tarmac paths. A separate night route avoids crossing the canal and follows a tarmac towpath. Participants are required to wear appropriate clothing for the weather and are advised to carry a headtorch and spare batteries for after dark. The event is fully waymarked and marshalled.
Facilities at the venue include hot and cold water, fruit, sweets, camping, toilets and first aid cover. Aid stations and start area facilities are provided. All participants receive a Yorkshire Goodie Bag. Camping is available at the start and limited campervan spaces must be pre arranged. The event lists a minimum age of 18 and an entry fee of £80.
