Whorlton Run – Knavesmire’s Wine Festival

Great Summer’s evening racing out on the Moors, fine individual efforts and victory in both Male and Female Team competitions rewarded with many bottles of plonk.
The almost 6 mile race was the 4th in the Northern Runner North Yorkshire Moors Summer Series, and featured a bit more road than usual.
The next race in the series is Maybeck Three Crosses on Sunday 29th June, highly recomended.
