    Up to 300 people will experience the beauty of Knaresborough on foot in a fortnight's time in the town's biggest running event of the year.

    Knaresborough Crag Rat Run has been staged annually since 2016 by Knaresborough Striders.

    The event is suitable for all abilities and attracts a combination of serious club runners and people who just enjoy the challenge of completing the five-mile course.

    The mixed terrain route starts at Knaresborough Cricket Club at 11am on Sunday, September 24 and includes sections on tarmac, woodland and the town's crags. No road closures are required.

    Tom Calvert, who won the race last year.



    The course takes in some of the finest parts of Knaresborough, including Birkham Woods, Abbey Road and back along the crag top back to the cricket club.

    Guy Close, chairman of Knaresborough Striders, said:

    "In my view it has to be one of the best local races around. It's family-friendly, suitable for all running abilities and cheap as chips to enter!
    "Runners will also get the benefit of being cheered on by a fantastic group of Knaresborough Striders who are hosting the event."


    Tea, coffee and cakes will be served for cash donations. All money raised will go to local charities.

    Further details, including how to enter, are available here.
