Great Owl Running Presents Kirkstall Calverley Cutter & Kirkstall Bridge 10km
Join Great Owl Running for two distinct races starting from the award-winning Kirkstall Bridge Inn. The Kirkstall Calverley Cutter is a ~16km trail race that explores the Leeds Liverpool Canal, River Aire, and the Calverley Cutting. For those seeking a faster pace, the Kirkstall Bridge 10km offers a flat, out-and-back route along the canal towpath, suitable for all levels of runners.
Both races will be fully marked and marshalled at key points. Race HQ facilities include toilets and bag storage. Please note that due to ongoing flood relief works, the River Aire course may be subject to slight diversions.
