Tempting at Tempsey

About this event

Set along the serene Leeds & Liverpool Canal near Colton, this multi-distance event offers something for everyone on a flat, fast towpath. The route winds past historic canal locks and through quiet wooded stretches that capture Yorkshire's understated charm. Four distances cater to different ambitions, from a manageable 10K option perfect for testing the trail running waters, to a full marathon for those seeking a flat PR attempt. The peaceful countryside setting and lack of elevation make it an accessible introduction to off-road running, while the point-to-point format keeps things interesting. Finishers are welcomed with homemade cake and a unique medal, reflecting the event's low-key, community feel that stands apart from bigger city races.
