Leeds & Liverpool Canal 130 Mile Race

Get ready for a true adventure! The 2026 Trans-Pennine Run (LLCR) is a 130-mile non-stop race along the beautiful Leeds & Liverpool Canal towpath—from Old Hall Street in Liverpool to Office Lock in Leeds. Open to anyone aged 20 or over, the race follows UK Athletics rules and runs with the permission of the Canal & River Trust. We recommend runners bring their own support crew, but we also offer support for up to 75 Unsupported runners through the organisers, Canalrace C.I.C. This route blends the rich history of the “Industrial North” with surprisingly scenic stretches. You’ll pass iconic spots like the mile-long Burnley Embankment, towering 60 feet above ground, and the amazing Bingley Five Rise staircase—two of the “Seven Wonders of the Waterways.”
