I'm not going to pretend February is nice, February is a bastard, The Billing is a bastard. In name and nature.

Let's not all pretend February is nice, February is not nice, The Billing is not a nice race, The Billing is a bastard. Starting at the Rawdon Cricket Club this winter race heads straight up the Billing before heading through the top of Yeadon followed by a lap of the wonderful no man's land of Leeds Bradford Airport's perimiter fence and then returns via a second ascent of The Billing. Come join us to celebrate the general awfulness of running in the middle of a British winter. Trail shoes please. Any questions? RACE DETAILS Race HQ Rawdon Cricket Club, 73 Larkfield Rd, Rawdon, Leeds LS19 6DZ Distance ~14km Elevation ~277m Navigation A Fully Marked Course Terrain Fields / Trail / Public Footpaths Water Station Nah, bring your own Registration 11:00 Race Start 12:00 Entry Limit 100 Age Limit 18+ FACILITIES Race HQ Toilets Bag Storage Car Park(s) OPTIONAL EXTRAS Medals and T-shirts are often a standard provision of race entry.  But this can sometimes mean you take home extras you didn't really want (or leave them behind!) To ensure you get exactly what you want, we now offer the option to add medal or t-shirt purchases to your entry order. This means we can minimise waste and keep down the cost of the standard entry for all. If you fancy doing a good deed, you could also make a 'Trees not Tees' donation. This will pay for a tree to be planted...an ever-growing memento of your race day! Please note optional extras are only available for a certain time before the race date. Entry on the day is available but extras will be limited to any excess stock for purchase. MANDATORY KIT Windproof / Waterproof Jacket All runners MUST carry a warm jacket / extra clothing suitable for the winter weather should you get yourself in trouble (Mandatory) Spare Shoes / Clothing - Our Race HQ is carparted - you ARE not coming in dressed like that! Bring some spares to change into, no muddy boots inside please.
