About the race
The Billing is a winter trail race based at Rawdon Cricket Club, 73 Larkfield Rd, Rawdon, Leeds LS19 6DZ. The route climbs The Billing, continues through the top of Yeadon, includes a lap alongside the Leeds Bradford Airport perimeter fence, and returns via a second ascent of The Billing. The course is fully marked.
The distance is approximately 14 km with about 277 m of elevation gain. Terrain is a mix of fields, trail and public footpaths. Trail shoes are recommended. There is no water station on course, so runners should carry their own fluids.
Entry is limited to 100 participants and the minimum age is 18. The published entry fee is £18. Facilities at Race HQ include toilets, bag storage and car parking. Optional extras such as medals and t-shirts can be purchased with entry for a limited time before the event, and a Trees not Tees donation option is available to fund tree planting. Entry on the day may be possible but optional extras will be limited to any excess stock.
Mandatory kit includes a windproof or waterproof jacket and spare shoes and clothing. The organiser asks that runners bring spares to change into and avoid bringing muddy boots inside Race HQ. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
