Future races near NE England

"Collect race number and chip on the day." "The race is limited to 450 runners, so places on the day will only be accepted if entries have not reached this number. Early entry is advised." "The closing date is Oct 12th at 2359." "The race HQ is in the Town Hall which is 50m uphill from the Market Hall we have used previously." "The race starts in the Batts riverside park area, and is all on roads apart from a very short section on grass at the start. Runners pass the spectacular Richmond Falls on the River Swale before crossing the river at Green Bridge and climbing Sleegill. A quick look over the shoulder from Sleegill offers fine views of Richmond Castle. Runners are then taken on a short circuit of Catterick Garrison before returning to Richmond and a great finish within the grounds of Richmond Castle. As in 2017, the current route takes one short loop off Richmond Road (north) - round Smutts Road - on the way back into the centre of Richmond (note that the route no longer enters French Road). This more direct return to the town centre allows for an attractive run round Castle Walk at the end of the route: after entering the lower side of the market square along Frenchgate, runners proceed straight along Millgate and on into Castle Walk (note that the route no longer turns right up into Market Place). Castle Walk affords a good view down over the river as you follow it round to Castle Hill, and there is then a short dash along Tower Street Castle Wynd and into Richmond Castle itself to the finish line."
