Winter along the Leeds & Liverpool Canal with the Frostbite Sir Titus Trot

Wrap up warm and join us this winter for the Frostbite Sir Titus Trot – a proper seasonal run along the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. Expect crisp air, frosty towpaths and that unmistakable Grim atmosphere!

With distances ranging from 10K to Marathon, all along the flat (well… nearly flat), even (well… nearly even) towpath, this event is perfect for runners of all abilities – from first-time runners to ultra distance warriors chasing winter PBs.

This is one of our most popular events and sells out quickly, so don’t hang about
