Let's Motor along the Towpath - Rodley

About this event

The Leeds & Liverpool Canal provides a surprisingly peaceful escape from city life, and this event makes the most of its flat, tree-lined towpath. Runners follow an out-and-back route from Rodley, passing moored narrowboats and open waterway views that blend urban character with countryside calm. With five distances from 10k to marathon, there's something for everyone looking to test their pace on traffic-free, forgiving terrain. The flat profile makes it ideal for those chasing personal bests or simply enjoying a steady rhythm beside the water. Organized by Its Grim Up North Running, the event delivers their signature warmth — think bespoke medals, post-race cake, and the kind of friendly atmosphere that makes canal running feel like a proper community gathering.
