What you’re in for

It can be run alone or with the next day's North race to complete the full circuit of Leeds. The course is not marked: the LCW has green owl waymarker plates, but runners must navigate with the GPX or a printed map, and recces are recommended. Checkpoints include an indoor halfway stop with drop bags, there is a cut-off at Woodkirk (32km) at 14:30, and the course closes at 18:00. Entrants need a marathon or ultra within the last four years.
