Leeds Skelton Lake Services | M1 Junction 45 | West Yorkshire

 

Looking for a unique trail running event in Leeds? This one starts somewhere a little different…

 

Not just any motorway service station — we’re based at Skelton Lake Services (M1 J45), one of the UK’s most environmentally friendly service stations. It’s greener than green and even features a rooftop bird hide,a must-visit for any birdwatcher before or after your run.

 

All facilities within the services are available to runners, making this one of the most convenient and accessible trail races in Yorkshire.

A Stunning Mixed-Terrain Trail Course

You’ll experience a true mixed-terrain adventure, including:

 

-Woodland trails

-Riverside paths

-Open grass sections

-Hard-packed trail

-Scenic countryside views

 

Whether you're chasing a PB, enjoying a steady trail run, or walking your first longer distance, our generous 6.5-hour cut-off time makes this event welcoming for all abilities.

 

Fully Supported &amp; Friendly Atmosphere

 

We pride ourselves on creating supportive, social trail events.

 

-Regular water &amp; feed stations (approximately every 3 miles)

-Sweet &amp; savoury snacks to keep you fuelled

-Encouraging, experienced marshals

-Bespoke finisher medal

-Plenty of cake (of course!)

 

You can’t beat a post-race cup of tea and a chat with fellow runners. We actively encourage everyone to stay, relax, and enjoy the social atmosphere.
