If you've never visited or run around the grounds of Temple Newsam then you're in for a treat. Temple Newsam is a jewel in the crown for Leeds. Loads of walking and running trails, a farm for the kids and big kids, a cafe, shop, a big house to wander around and the grounds are a delight any time of the year.We took a year off from Temple Newsam last year, but now we're back. The course is a mixture of open country, garden and woodland. Underfoot you'll find path, grass and trail. The course is undulating but with a 6.5 hour cut off it's doable even for the newly initiated. There are 4 distances to choose from and lots of fun to be had.
You'll find well stocked drinks and feed stations every 3 miles. The course will be well signposted and the Grim marshals will be out on course giving you encouragement. There are plenty of toilets near the start/finish/registration area. There is now a charge for parking, Leeds City Council charges, please check beforehand.
When you finish your distance, you'll find a warm welcome from the Grim Team, lots of goodies to help you recover and a bespoke medal. We love you to stay around and have a chat, with the team and other runners.
