Leeds Country Way In A Day 100km

About this event

This ambitious 100km ultra follows the Leeds Country Way, a celebrated trail that loops entirely around Leeds within surprisingly rural landscapes. Starting at midnight, runners traverse woodlands, parks, and nature reserves under starlight before dawn breaks over views stretching toward the Yorkshire Dales. The route stays remarkably green despite hugging the city edges, weaving through quiet villages and open countryside. With 24 hours to complete the full circumnavigation, this overnight challenge tests endurance and navigation through shifting light and energy levels. It's a distinctive urban ultra for experienced trail runners—offering the unusual satisfaction of circling an entire city on foot while barely glimpsing its streets.
