Meanwood Trail Race Information

DIRECTIONS

From Leeds City Centre and the South (including M1 and M621)

Follow the A61 through the City Centre towards Harrogate for 4 miles out of Leeds

On reaching the roundabout with the A6120 Outer Ring Road, turn left

At the next roundabout (just before the shopping centre which includes Sainsbury's and Homebase), turn right onto King Lane

Follow King Lane for approx 1 mile; there is a parade of shops on the right hand side, at the end of the parade turn left onto the drive/track to Old Leo's (there is a sign for Old Leo's, also a blue 'P' sign, but there is no roadsign for Crag Lane)

If you are early, continue along the drive/track and park near the Clubhouse. If you are not so early, find a side road to park and jog the 200 yards to the Clubhouse. Do NOT park ON King Lane as this may cause an obstruction. N.B. Car-sharing will ease parking and save fuel!

From the North East and East

On reaching the A6120 Outer Ring Road, follow signs for Bradford

Cross over the A61 (Leeds-Harrogate) roundabout, then follow (3) above.

From the North West and West

On reaching the A6120 Outer Ring Road, follow signs for York

Immediately after Sainsbury's supermarket (on your left), turn left at the roundabout and follow (4) above

From Ilkley and Otley

From Otley, take the A660 (towards Leeds)

Immediately after Bramhope, at the little roundabout, turn left up Kings Road

At the next T-junction, turn right, then after 200 yards bear left onto King Lane

Continue across a cross roads, and through a narrow left hand bend. After passing a dozen houses, the road narrows again down a hill. Two-thirds of the way down this hill, on the right hand side, is the driveway to the Clubhouse. If you reach some shops you've gone 50 yards too far!

FACILITIES

Please arrive early if you wish to park near the Clubhouse. If the car park is full, please respect access for local residents and do NOT park ON King Lane as this may cause an obstruction - the Police have commented on this.

Inside the Clubhouse, separate changing rooms for men and women will be available before and after the race. (NB valuables are left at your own risk). After the race, there will be 15 showers available for men, and 2 for women.

The Start and Finish are both less than 100 yards from the Clubhouse.

The bar in the Clubhouse will be open after the race for competitors (and during the race for spectators!)

The bar in the Clubhouse has been recently redecorated. Please change your shoes before entering the bar. You are also requested not to bring kit-bags into the bar.

Results will be displayed as soon as possible after the finish. If you require a printed copy of the results, there will be envelopes at the Enquiry Desk - self-address one of these and leave £1 inside.

Prizes will be presented in the Clubhouse soon after 12 noon.
