| Description | Enjoy a festive trip up the Leeds and Liverpool Canal this winter. With distances ranging from 5k to Ultra, all along the flat, even towpath, this out and back event is perfect for runners of all abilities, from novices to Ultra PB chasers! A popular event and a return to the Leeds Liverpool canal this time Just outside Bingley. The tow path on this event is great underfoot so this flat outback (if you don’t mind 3-Rise and 5-Rise Locks) is maybe the one that allows you to push yourself to the next distance. For this chip timed event all you have to do is choose one of the six distances available. We'd love you in your best festive fancy dress :) |

| During the race and important things to note: | We try to be cup-less: Our feed stations are normally around every three miles and offer drinks and a range of food but please bring your own re-usable cup or bottle. Headphones: Most of our courses are off road but we still prefer you not to wear earphones and due to oncourse incidents, we have taken the decision to ask you not to wear large over ear headphones. These block out any other sounds and don't allow runners to hear marshals, vehicles or other users of the route. If you do need to wear earphones, then please use bone conducting earphones or "one in one out" in ear pieces. Please note, there may well be unmarshalled road crossings. Transfers/Deferrals: You can self-serve your transfer or deferral either on the Grim Up North website, this is a free service. Please try not to change your event or details on the day as it causes delays and queues at registration. Please note if you need us to transfer your entry we may apply a £5 charge. If you are struggling, injured or want to retire please notify the closest marshal. We no longer mail out a race brief as most of the information is here on the website however we advise you to visit our FAQ section and join the “Grim Up North Chat” group on Facebook which will help with any other questions you have. |
