About this event
Besotted at Bingley transforms a Valentine's Day run into a proper Yorkshire celebration along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The flat, out-and-back towpath winds past historic stone bridges and the stunning Five Rise Locks, offering a forgiving surface that suits both nervous first-timers tackling a 5k and experienced runners chasing a canal-side marathon PB. With six distances to choose from, it's the kind of event where everyone finds their pace. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of friendly competition and good-natured fun, with themed decorations and enthusiastic local support lining the route. Post-race traditions include a distinctive Valentine's medal and the much-loved pie and pint — because nothing says Yorkshire like proper food after a proper run.
