History of the race

Leeds Country Way (LCW), an annual event now in its 22nd year, is held annually around the end of August or the first week in September. The race comprises of 6 pairs of runners in each team, running a leg (section) around the actual LCW route.

An approximate total of 64 miles are covered, at a total time of around 7 hours. There are trophies for the fastest legs and teams, men and women, with a memento for each finisher, and if you have the energy left, food.

 

Route descriptions are given to each participating team, and teams are encouraged to run or walk the routes before the race. This will help on the day as there will be stewards at baton check points, but not along the route itself.

If you've run the route before, the date the instructions last changed is also shown below, so make sure you've got the latest version.
