West Yorkshire Winter League (WYWL) 2026-27
The WYWL is a team and individual trail league held across six races from November to January in West Yorkshire. A season pass priced at £20 grants entry to all six races; entries close on 25/10/2026. Entry is restricted to fully paid-up, affiliated members of the league clubs, age 17 and over, and competitors must be affiliated to England Athletics or British Triathlon. Entry is limited to 1,000 places and there is no entry on the day. Chip timing was introduced in 2024/25 and the series is run under a Trail Running Association licence.
Courses are trail and hilly, run as a single lap with distances of about 5 to 6 miles. The race is not suitable for wheelchairs or blind runners. Dogs are not allowed and headphone use follows England Athletics guidelines. Facilities are minimal: toilets are available but there is no water, no distance markers, no changing rooms, no showers and no baggage storage. There are individual awards for the top three male and female finishers and for top three in open and five-year age categories; winners cannot take two awards and top three male or female results take priority. Team awards include male, female, vets (35+), super vets (50+) and overall teams. A complimentary buff is provided to people who start four or more races. Competitors enter at their own risk; no refunds, deferrals or transfers are offered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
