Sir Titus Summer Trot
Sir Titus Summer Trot is a series of trail races organised by Its Grim Up North Running that start and finish in the World Heritage village of Saltaire, next to the canal and Salts Mill. The event takes place along the towpath and nearby routes beside the canal.
Distances offered include:
- 10k
- 10 mile
- Half Marathon
- 20 mile
- Marathon
- Ultra Marathon
The course is largely flat and follows towpath terrain. Feed stations are placed approximately every three miles and normally offer drinks and food; the event operates a mostly cup-less policy so participants are encouraged to bring a reusable cup or bottle. Toilets are available at the start and finish area. All finishers receive a bespoke finisher medal and a range of edible post-race items.
Logistics note that the route is licenced by the Trail Running Association. Saltaire train station is a short walk from the start area. Parking is available nearby, including spaces by Titus Salt School, though local council charges may apply. Transfers and deferrals can be self-served on the organiser's website up to 48 hours before the event. Large over-ear headphones are discouraged; if earphones are used, bone conduction or single-ear use is preferred. Runners should be aware there may be unmarshalled road crossings.
