We can't guarantee it'll be roasting in Rodley, but a nice day would be welcome. Roasting in Rodley is another one of our events that sells out quickly, formley, motor along the towpath. Rodley is famous for the production of dusty bin, if any of you know who dusty bin is.

Roasting in Rodley boasts a flat, fast and great underfoot course. There are 7 distances to choose from, so something for everyone. This will be our hotdog event, GF and vegan sausages also available. There will be lots of goodies at the end of the event including a bespoke medal.

The route starts next to the canal at in Rodley which is 6 miles outside the centre of Leeds, so lots of public transport and accommodation available in the centre of Leeds for those travelling for runners from outside the city. The course is a good canal towpath all the way. You'll get to meet and greet the other Grim runners as all distances are run on an out and back course. Roasting at Rodley is a must for anyone doing their first event, anyone wishing for a PB and with a 6.5 hour cut off anyone just looking for a day out.

There are plenty of water and feed stations located on the course, to make sure you're fully hydrated and fuelled by sugar! You'll also meet some of our wonderful marshals along the course who'll give you lots of encouragement.

During the race 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 on-course incidents, we have taken the decision to ban 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 will be unmarshalled road crossings.

Transfers/Deferrals: You can self-serve your transfer or deferral on this website or “Let’s Do This,” depending on where you booked. Please try not to change your event or details on the day as it causes delays and queues at registration. Defers are only allowed up to 48 hours before the event, this you can do yourself online.

Any other questions, please use our FAQ's available on our website.
