Sir Titus Trot

The name of the company organising this event is It’s Grim Up North Running, but this race is anything but grim. It’s a lovely out-and-back meander along the Leeds-toLiverpool canal path. There are seven distance options, from 5K to ultra, but all pass by the village of Saltaire – named after a 19thcentury fabric magnate, Titus Salt, whose woollen mill was on the banks of the River Aire, which afforded him easy access to the canal.
