Chaos in Calverley!
Our last race may have been postponed due to Storm Amy, but don’t worry — Calverley Chaos is back this December with an extra-special festive edition:

Join us on the Calverley Millennium Way for a 7.5-mile trail race with a twist — runners will take on the fully marked Millennium Way in both directions!

GETTING THERE / PARKING

The Railway Inn has a place to lock your bike and is easily accessible via the Leeds Liverpool Canal so access by foot or bike is the best way to reach us.

If driving we strongly recommend parking on Calverley Lane situated just off the A6120. We recommend to avoid Calverley Bridge which is often full. Once parked The Railway Inn is a short walk over the river.
