Tadcaster 10 mile – Sun 20 Nov
From Nick Kealey… It’s a fast one! Don’t take my word for it, look at the stats – 5% of the field completed in under an hour and if you were to scrape under this magical milestone you may feel slightly aggrieved to have only finished in 41st place! I signed up late, three days […]
Fewston and Swinsty Marathon – Fri 18 Nov
From Colin Williams… On Friday I took part in the Fewston and Swinsty marathon, day two of a 4 in 4 days marathon serious, this year I only ran one day. The event was organised by It’s Grim up North Running and as always, they offered a selection of distances. I lined up with 18 […]
Tour of Pendle Fell Race – Sat 19 Nov
From Jeff Green… One road marathon was enough for me and I remember thinking similar thoughts after running the Tour of Pendle three years ago after seeing stars on the way up the last – and steepest – climb. It’s a brutal route with six major climbs and plenty of strength-sapping bog, which packs in […]

Post Hill Challenge – Sat 12 Nov
From Forrest Hamilton… The Post Hill Challenge is a 3.5-mile trail race run through the Post Hill woods in Pudsey with 570ft of elevation gain mostly coming from the notorious climb (which you go up twice) after which the race is named. One local pre-race could be heard exclaiming with mild horror that a madman […]
Dunnerdale Fell Race – Sat 12 Nov
From Paul Atkinson… The Dunnerdale is a classic short race round the tiny but rugged Lake District fells between the Lickle and the Duddon valleys. The scenery is superb, the course is tough and varied and there’s a very nice pub at the finish. The race is ably organised by the Black Combe Runners. Five […]
