St Aidan's 10k

The St Aidan's 10K is a popular trail running event held in July at RSPB St Aidan's Country Park near Leeds. This mostly flat, undulating 10-kilometre course follows public footpaths and bridleways through the scenic park, starting and finishing at the Visitor Centre by the Little Owl Cafe and the historic "Oddball" dragline excavator. Limited to 300 runners due to parking and environmental concerns, the race offers water stations, distance markers, and toilets but no changing or shower facilities.

A unique feature is the option to run a 'Reverse' 10K on the following Friday, with discounted entry for both races. The event provides a relaxed, community atmosphere ideal for off-road running enthusiasts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
