Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest is organised by Its Grim Up North Running and takes place at Rodley Cricket Club alongside the Leeds & Liverpool Canal in Rodley, Leeds. The event on 19 September 2026 offers a range of distances that cater to beginners through to ultra runners and is presented as a single race day with multiple entry options. The course uses canal towpaths and is promoted as a largely flat, well-surfaced route that is suitable for a wide variety of abilities. Entrants can expect chip timing, marshals and waymarked routes with GPX downloads available prior to race day.

The event features regular feed stations, a bespoke finisher's medal and post-race refreshments, and the organiser operates a cup-less policy so participants should bring their own cup or bottle. Registration and race-day activity are based at Rodley Cricket Club with on-site parking provided (fee applies). Route maps, results and reviews are published on the official event pages and the organiser maintains social profiles for updates. Runners should consult the event FAQ and the organiser's information pages for specific age restrictions, transfer policies and further logistics.
