Race Venue/HQ:
Middleton Clearings.
HQ - The HQ is the Phoenix Bar LS11 5DJ (Enter the South Leeds Stadium and turn right) - No Muddy shoes in the Stadium.

The stadium has showers which you can use for a small fee (please see the reception desk), then we move into the Phoenix Bar where there will be tea/coffee and food (Chilli, Veg Chilli and Hot Dogs).

We start with a mile lap of the Clearings before heading off into the woods (mud, fallen branches, leaves etc), we re-enter the clearings at the bottom and do another half lap of the woods before cutting off onto the top of the clearings where it's a fast downhill sprint finish!!
Footwear - I did it on New Years eve and it was a definite Mud claw course, it may have dried out but better safe than sorry.

It then brings you back into the hospital grounds to finish. There will be lots of marshals out on the course to look after you, along with plenty of tape to follow.

Please be aware that the woods are a popular dog walking spot so look out for walkers too.

Race Venue/HQ:

The race HQ is from Baildon Rugby Club, Jenny Lane, Baildon BD17 6SH

Car Parking:

With the increase in the number of runners we ask that you please car share. There is limited residential parking near the Rugby club as well as a small car park at the club. Please do not block any driveways.

 

There is also a small car park at the Golf Club, further residential parking in the area behind and another small car park on the right towards the moor, past the cattle grid. Please see attached map.

 

The Rugby clubhouse will be open early for number and wristband collection from your Club Rep. Please arrive in good time.

There are limited changing facilities (usually for 30 rugby players!) with post race drinks in the Rugby clubhouse. Please remove/change your muddy running shoes. There will also be the good old raffle (we welcome any donations).

 

Catering will also be available in the Rugby Clubhouse.

 

Course:

The race starts at 10.30am and is the same as previous years on the beautiful Baildon Moor, near Baildon Golf Club which is a 5-minute jog from our Rugby Club HQ. Trail shoes will be fine unless we get a lot of rain before the race where a better grip would be advantageous.

 

Check out the course on https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/7708200195

 

The start will run up the side of the 18th golf fairway, but we anticipate golfers will not have reached the 18th by 10.30am. They will however be using the nearby 1st tee and we ask that you respect our good friends at the Golf Club doing their chosen sport and keep away from that area.

 

 

 

It's the moment you've all been waiting for...

 

Entries for the new season open on Friday at 10am.

 

Please don't sign up unless you have affiliation to either England Athletics or British Triathlon and have paid your yearly membership fees to one of the 16 league clubs. We do check!

Course:

The course is 5.6 miles long and is mainly on woodland paths and tracks. It is a bit technical in places with roots, rocks, steep slopes and the infamous 'Log Flume' (which is dry as a bone at the moment) will have a word with the weather Gods! Also some short tarmac sections, so we have something for everyone.
Fell or Trail shoes are essential - please do not attempt to run with roadies.
Please listen to and take notice of Marshals instructions - They are there to ensure your safety. Anyone wearing headphones will be removed from the race for this reason.
