To the Start:

It is a multi-terrain course of approx 5k in length. The terrain is mixed with a little of everything. It has an uphill start but then has plenty of flat and downhill sections. Normal running shoes will be totally fine in dry weather, can become muddy in wet weather conditions (let’s hope the sun is shining). The course consisting of one lap will snake you around the stunning views of the North Yorkshire Moors with a site of Roseberry Topping! If you have simply come to enjoy the event and using it for a social run, take the time to take in the stunning views, they are simply amazing. There will be a ‘back marker’ (Holly) and marshals on course, if you have any problems please go to the nearest marshal, for assistance.
