Looking for a unique trail running event in Leeds? This one starts somewhere a little different…

Not just any motorway service station — we’re based at Skelton Lake Services (M1 J45), one of the UK’s most environmentally friendly service stations. It’s greener than green and even features a rooftop bird hide, a must-visit for any birdwatcher before or after your run.

All facilities within the services are available to runners, making this one of the most convenient and accessible trail races in Yorkshire.
