A very hilly 10k through the very scenic North Yorkshire Moors, not one for PB’s , it is known as ‘ a road race for fell runners or a fell race for road runners’.

The race was won by Knavesmire’s Harry Holmes in a time of  35:56 , very quick given the severity of the climbs on the course.

Nik Tarrega was second Lady, Cassie Holmes fourth and  Janet Cordingley first F55.
