Due to the unfortunate cancellation of Bolsover 10k I headed up the M1 to Leeds. The run offered a children’s run on the day where they got to chase a lion around the track and an adult trail run. 

The route was a 10km trail run around the scenic Middleton woods, presented by the South Leeds Lakers. 

The race starts with a lap of the track at the South Leeds Stadium, then heads through the trails of Middleton Park before finishing with a 3/4 lap of the track. 

The course was muddy with a bit of extra mud on top. Trail shoes strongly advised. The fancy dress was hilarious and the marshalls were fantastic… thank you marshalls.

At the finish there was mince pies, humbug boiled sweets and of course a bespoke medal. 

For those who love a festive run add this race to the list.
