Winter Solstice Strider is a festive evening running event held at St Ives Estate in Bingley, West Yorkshire, raising funds for Sue Ryder. The event features 5K and 10K routes through the estate's woodland, including a section past Druids Altar, with runners taking part by head torch on the shortest day of the year.

The undulating course follows predominantly rough tracks, with one circuit for the 5K and two for the 10K. Runners can expect woodland paths, uneven surfaces and potentially muddy conditions, making appropriate footwear and a reliable head torch essential. Walkers are also welcome on the 5K route, while younger participants can join when accompanied by an adult.

Both distances feature chip timing, and every participant receives a bespoke solstice medal. Organised in support of Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice, the event also provides a virtual participation option for those unable to attend in person, allowing them to complete either distance independently.
