Ultra Marathons in West Yorkshire, in context
Ultra marathons make up most of West Yorkshire's racing on Verus — 12 of 18 races, or about 67%. If you run this distance, this is a well-served county.
The dates are spread across 7 months of the year, which gives real choice about when to peak rather than forcing a single date.
Of those that publish an elevation figure, the flattest is Haworth Hobble at 5,300ft of climb and the hilliest Stanza Stones 50 Mile Ultra — Summer Edition at 6,600ft — the same distance, but not the same afternoon.
