Bradford Running Events

Great Owl running presents the inaugural Kirkstall Calverley Cutter. An 18km Trail / Road Hybrid Race consisting of approximately 9.5 km riverside path and trail / 4.5 km Canal Towpath / 4 km pavement. The Course starts on the Leeds Liverpool canal but soon meanders off on a loop taking in the sights of the fantastic River Aire, Calverley Cutting and Kirkstall Abbey.

Race registration and finish takes place at the award winning Kirkstall Bridge, on finishing all runners receive a delicious pint with their race number (or cider / glass of wine / soft drink) and a cosy warm atmosphere after what will certainly be a very cold January race!

Although the route is relatively simple the course will be part marked and marshalled at key areas and all runners will receive a route map / description upon entry.
The race will finish back at the Bridge pub and we will administer some kind of gong or bell system, so a mad dash to ring the bell will be part of the fun.

As the name suggests this is an out and back canter on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The route will start and finish at Kirkstall about 2.5 miles outside the centre of Leeds. Whilst this flat route is not particularly technical its a great opportunity to improve your own PB. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal is 127.25 miles in length, stretching between the busy cities of Leeds and Liverpool. It is in fact the longest canal in the north of England and passing through 91 locks. The construction began in 1770 and was completed in 1816.

The Wakefield 10k Road Race is organized for and by Wakefield Hospice, with the aim to raise as much as possible for patients and their families living with an end of life diagnosis. Wakefield Hospice annually needs to raise 4 million. We would not be able to achieve this without the help of local people going out of their way to raise funds through taking part in events like the Wakefield 10k.
