Stanza Stones Winter Edition

The Stanza Stones Winter Edition is a challenging 24-hour, 50-mile linear ultra running event held in West Yorkshire, starting at Marsden and finishing in Ilkley. The course features over 6,600 feet of ascent, traversing the scenic South Pennines moorland and passing through the historic village of Haworth, famous for the Brontë Sisters. Runners visit six unique Stanza Stones, each inscribed with a water-themed poem by Simon Armitage.

The event offers live tracking, indoor checkpoints with refreshments, medical support, and a finishers' meal and memento. Changing rooms are available at the finish, but no showers. The race combines natural beauty, literary heritage, and physical endurance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
