Course Details

The Half Marathon and the 10 Miler's set off at the same time but branch off around mile 8 where the halves hit the challenge of Haigh Woodland Park hill up to the stunning country house, Haigh Hall, and the 10 milers cruise through the Plantations. The Half Marathon and the 10 Miler have recently attracted some trail runners due to the varying terrain of the iconic Leeds Liverpool Canal stretch of the race but don't let that worry you as the majority is smooth sailing.

The 5k is a super fast and flat route, perfect for those chasing a PB. With both this distance and the Family Mile running through the picturesque Mesnes Park.
