Leeds & Liverpool Canal 130 Mile Race (LLCR)

The Leeds & Liverpool Canal 130 Mile Race (LLCR) is a challenging non-stop ultramarathon held along Britain’s longest man-made waterway, the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. Starting at Old Hall Street in Liverpool and finishing at Office Lock in Leeds, the 130-mile towpath course offers a scenic route through the Industrial North, featuring landmarks like the Burnley Embankment and Bingley Five Rise staircase. The event welcomes both supported runners with their own crews and unsupported runners tended by organizers, with feed stations approximately every 10-15 miles.

With a 40-hour time limit and no entry qualifications, the race is part of the Canalslam series and emphasizes strong community support and accessible navigation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
