A 10K Trail Race Amongst the Parkland of Rudding Park, Harrogate.
A sell out event where the participants get the chance to run a route on private land, created specifically for the event, with Rudding House making the perfect backdrop for the finish line. The course is a single marked loop with a mixture of paths, woodland trails and includes some technical areas. From the starting line, you run down to the lakes where you follow the stone wall into the woodland and then climb it on the opposite side! From the top you drop down two fields to Crimple Beck, following the trail for a few kilometres until you reach the 5km mark and water station. You then climb, via the secret golf hole, Love Island, Enchanted Woodland Path and the Italy Boot Shape to Repton Green. Finally, follow the nature path to Dower House where you are able to see the finish line in front of Rudding House but not to be deceived, still ahead was the ‘finish drag’, described last year as a ‘brutal’ challenge! At the end we were awarded with a medal, awesome goodie bag, enjoyed music, a complimentary ‘Race Finisher’ refreshment and hog roast as the sunset.
What a fantastic event - I will definitely be back next year!
