Leeds Country Way Winter Ultras

About this event

The Leeds Country Way Winter Ultras present a challenging 59km point-to-point route that embraces the raw character of January running. Despite staying within seven miles of Leeds city center, the course feels refreshingly remote as it winds through bridleways, woodland trails, and quiet country paths connecting villages, nature reserves, and parkland. The winter timing brings short daylight hours and unpredictable weather into play, demanding good navigation skills and self-reliance. This is technical, varied terrain that rewards experienced runners who enjoy the stripped-back nature of cold-season ultras. The low-key format provides essential support while maintaining the authentic challenge of winter trail running through West Yorkshire's surprisingly rural landscape.
