Participants can choose from a wide range of distances:

  • 10 km
  • 10 Miles
  • Half Marathon
  • 20 Miler
  • Marathon
  • Ultra Marathon

Participant Support and Safety

Feed and drink stations are positioned approximately every three miles along the course, offering various food and beverage options. The event operates as a cup-less race, and runners are encouraged to bring their own reusable bottles or cups. For safety reasons, large over-ear headphones are not permitted, although bone-conducting or single-ear pieces are acceptable to ensure runners can hear marshals and other path users. Downloadable GPX files are provided to assist with navigation.

Facilities and Transport

Toilets are located at the start area. There is no dedicated event parking at the registration or start line; instead, on-road parking is available within Rodley and the town centre. The location is accessible by bus from Leeds, Keighley, Shipley, Bingley, and Bradford. All finishers receive a bespoke medal and a selection of treats at the conclusion of their run.
