- Thursday 20th May, Start 7.45pm

- Venue: Harrogate Railway Football & Athletic Club, Station View
- The course is approx. 9.6 km and is a mixture of off road tracks and road running
- There is ample parking in the field adjacent to the Club, changing facilities are available together with showers and toilets.
-
The start is 0.25 miles from the Club, and approx 10 minutes before the start, marshalls will take everyone up to the start of the race.
Please do not congregate at the start prior to this, as requested by the police. -
There is a small change to the course this year to cut out a section through Tennyson Avenue. At the Nidd viaduct runners will turn right and go down into the Nidd Gorge and approx 1000m along the river before turning right and emerging by The Gardeners Arms pub, then right onto Bilton Lane and left onto Woodfield, which is the course as before.
We have made this change just to take out a busy road crossing and associated problems with a largish housing area. - The other details of venue and directions remain the same as previously.
- NB You must run through the subway under the railway line and anyone not going through will be disqualified.
There may be a police presence at this point also - The finish is next to the Club.
- There will be a buffet with sandwiches etc provided in the bar near the club after the race. Please ask marshalls for directions to the bar.
