Crikey It's the Christmas Cracker Day 2 offers six festive trail running distances in Rodley, Leeds, ranging from 5K and 10K to 10 miles, Half Marathon, 20 miles and Marathon. Starting at Rodley Cricket Club, the races follow the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, providing a largely flat course with scenic waterside views and opportunities for steady pacing.

The signed canal route offers straightforward running terrain, with shorter races covering a single section of the course and longer distances incorporating additional laps. Regular feed stations support runners tackling the longer distances, while the relatively level paths make the event appealing to those targeting a personal best or taking on a new distance.

As the second day of the Christmas Cracker weekend, the event brings a festive atmosphere to the canal paths of West Yorkshire. Runners can look forward to supportive marshals, a bespoke Christmas finisher's medal and seasonal refreshments at the finish, rounding off a winter running challenge near Leeds.
