Rothwell Kebabathon - Trail Run

A trail run from Skelton Lake Services into Rothwell Country Park — woodland, riverside paths, grass trail and a touch of road.

Multiple distances with a generous 6.5-hour cut-off, so walkers are welcome as well as runners. Bring a reusable cup or bottle — the event is cupless and eco-focused — with water and feed stations roughly every 3 miles. Large over-ear headphones aren’t permitted for safety (bone-conducting, or one ear in and one out, is fine), and there are some unmarshalled road crossings, so stay alert.

Expect one friendly climb that rewards you with an incredible view of Leeds city centre. Finishers get a bespoke medal, a kebab, and hot and cold drinks, and there’s a social finish area, so stick around and celebrate with fellow runners.
