Leeds & Liverpool Canal 130 Mile Race (LLCR)

The Leeds & Liverpool Canal 130 Mile Race (LLCR) is a challenging ultra-distance running event 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 non-stop 130-mile towpath course offers a scenic route through the Industrial North, featuring landmarks like the Burnley Embankment and Bingley Five Rise staircase. The race welcomes both supported runners with their own crews and unsupported runners tended by organizers, with aid stations approximately every 10-15 miles.

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