The Ultra Loop - August

Challenge your endurance in a uniquely flexible format at The Ultra Loop, an inclusive 8-hour timed running event set for Saturday, 8 August 2026 in the scenic grounds of Temple Newsam Park, Leeds. This event breaks from traditional distances, inviting you to run as many—or as few—5-kilometer loops as you wish within the time limit on a mixed-terrain course that explores the park's beautiful woodlands, gardens, and gravel paths. Perfect for first-time ultrarunners and seasoned athletes alike, it offers a supportive, low-pressure environment with chip timing for each loop, a well-stocked aid station sponsored by Voom, and a finisher's medal for everyone, regardless of distance covered. With its community-focused vibe, live event tracking for friends and family, and a strong sustainability ethos (bring your own bottle!), it’s the ultimate personal challenge. Lace up your trail shoes and define your own achievement at this brilliantly accessible and welcoming running event.
