Tempting at Tempsey
Tempting at Tempsey takes place on the grounds of Temple Newsam House in Leeds. The course runs through a mixture of open country, garden and woodland within the estate. Underfoot surfaces include path, grass and trail and the route is generally undulating with a 6.5 hour cut off.
The event offers four looped distances:
- 6.7 miles one loop
- Half Marathon two loops
- 20 miles three loops
- Marathon four loops
Feed stations are normally positioned about every three miles and provide drinks and a range of food. The event operates a cup-less approach and runners are advised to use a reusable cup or bottle. The course will be well signposted and marshals will be present on course. Toilets are available near the start, finish and registration areas. There is a parking charge applied by Leeds City Council.
Organisers provide downloadable GPX files for route navigation and note that not every corner or junction will have a marshal. Large over-ear headphones are banned; bone conduction or single ear in-ear devices are acceptable. If a runner needs to withdraw, they should inform the nearest marshal; in some circumstances dropping to a shorter distance is permitted. Transfers or deferrals are allowed up to 48 hours before the event. Finishers receive event goodies and a bespoke medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
