Spring Time Canal Canter
The Spring Time Canal Canter takes place along the Leeds to Liverpool Canal in Kirkstall. This event features a selection of distances on a course that follows the canal towpath. The route is entirely flat and consists of good trail terrain. It is an out-and-back course, with longer distances requiring multiple laps.
Available distances include:
- 10 km
- 10 Miler
- Half Marathon
- 20 Miler (2 x 10 mile laps)
- Marathon (2 x half marathon laps)
- Ultra Marathon (2 x half marathon laps plus 10 km)
The event is Trail Running Association licensed and conducted under UKA Rules. The course is marshalled and signed throughout. Feed and drink stations are positioned approximately every three miles, offering a range of food and beverages. Runners are encouraged to bring their own reusable cups or bottles as the event aims to be cup-less.
Registration and toilets are located next to the canal. Participants receive their bibs on the day of the event. All finishers are provided with a bespoke medal and post-race treats. Regarding safety, large over-ear headphones are not permitted to ensure runners can hear marshals and other path users; however, bone-conducting or "one in one out" earphones are allowed. The closest train station is Headingley, and while there is no parking at the start/finish, local parking is available nearby. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
