The Run Harrogate 10K is a multi-terrain race set in the beautiful Crimple Valley area of the famous spa town of Harrogate. It follows an undulating route that is approximately 70% tarmac road. The course has been specifically designed to be suitable for all levels of runner and will appeal to those contemplating their first race, but also to seasoned club runners who are looking for a challenge.

The start and finish will be close to the Harrogate Squash and Fitness Centre, where refreshments and facilities will be available. Ample parking will be available by kind permission of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society (entry via Wetherby Road, past Sainsbury’s).

Keep up to date on our Run Harrogate 10K Facebook page. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch at Events@Harrogate-Harriers.co.uk.

*Subject to any changes to the current COVID-19 restrictions or the Government’s ‘roadmap’ for easing lockdown. Appropriate COVID-security measures, for example staggered start times, will be implemented in line with current guidance.

Your COVID Guarantee

Harrogate Harriers are confidently looking forward to hosting this year’s Run Harrogate 10K on 4^th July. However, under the current unprecedented circumstances, none of us can be sure what will happen. We are therefore pleased to offer you a guarantee that, if the event is cancelled or postponed due to COVID19, we will automatically transfer your entry to the next edition of the event. If, for any reason, you are not able to make the next race, you will be able to request a refund via hello@racebest.com.*

This guarantee will also apply if the race goes ahead as planned, but you are unable to take part in order to comply with COVID-related restrictions (for example, because you are self-isolating or due to a local lockdown in your area). Please contact us at events@harrogate-harriers.co.uk with details of the circumstances (including documentary evidence, e.g. a positive test result, proof of contact from track and trace, etc, covering the relevant period) and indicate whether you would like to transfer your entry to the 2022 race or claim a refund.*

COVID Safety at the event

In delivering the Run Harrogate 10K, the health and safety of everyone involved, including participants, spectators, volunteers, event partners and the general public, is our paramount concern. As in any year, throughout the planning of the event, our team is working closely with all stakeholders to ensure that the race is safe and well run. However, the pandemic has thrown up additional challenges, and we are doing everything we can to ensure that the event will be fully compliant with all Government and UK Athletics guidelines and laws specific to COVID19 safety.

Some of the changes that you will notice this year include (subject to specific ruiles and conditions at the time of the event):

• Start times may be staggered, based on expected finishing times, with chip timing used to determine race results;
• A separate Finish area may be used, allowing more space for social distancing.

Throughout our preparations for the race, we will continue to monitor the advice and guidance given by the Government, UK Athletics and other reliable sources. We will take all appropriate steps between now and the day of the race to continue to ensure the health and safety of all those involved.

Runners should pay close attention to the final race briefing they recieve which will contain final details which will reflect specific rules and conditions at the time of the event.

*Refunds will be subject to a £2 admin fee, to cover 3^rd party costs.
