The Ultra Loop at Temple Newsam
The Ultra Loop is an eight hour running event held at Temple Newsam Park in Leeds, LS15 0AD. Participants complete repeated circuits of a 5 km loop on mixed terrain that includes trails, gravel paths and park road. The route starts in the estate and passes through woodlands and gardens, including views of Temple Newsam House, with a total elevation gain of about 97 m (318 ft) per lap.
Runners may enter solo or as part of a team of up to four. Team entries run in relay style with only one team member allowed on course at a time; team results are shown on a separate leaderboard. The event records lap counts, total distance and elapsed time; any laps not finished before the eight hour time limit are not included in final results. Finishers receive a recorded time and a medal regardless of how many laps they complete.
The event village and single aid station are located at the start/finish area. The aid station supplies water, fruit, sweet and savoury snacks, energy bars and electrolytes from the event sponsor. Participants are asked to bring their own bottle as cups are not provided. A bag drop is available throughout the day and portaloos are provided at the aid station.
Age restrictions apply: under 12s are not permitted, and those aged 12 to 15 must have a parent or guardian attend and make arrangements in advance. Entry fees are listed as £30 to £36. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
