St Aidan’s Winter Beast

Conquer a uniquely challenging course born from an industrial past in the heart of West Yorkshire. The St Aidan's Winter Beast awaits on Sunday, February 8th, 2026, offering a brutally fun 6.66-mile test of hills, trails, and classic cross-country mud. Unlike typical park runs, this event deliberately ventures off the beaten path within the stunning RSPB St Aidan's Country Park, serving up genuine climbs and rewarding panoramic views from its restored opencast landscape. Embrace the beastly distance and unpredictable conditions for a proper, mud-splattered winter adventure just a stone's throw from Leeds. It's a race that perfectly balances demanding effort with the raw beauty of reedbeds, lakes, and whispering woodlands, creating a wild escape from the urban grind. Secure your spot for a uniquely characterful and gruelingly satisfying run that truly earns its name.
