Rudding Park 10k race to return in spring
Finish line 2022
Rudding Park's 10k multi-terrain trail race is to return in May after a successful inaugural event last year.
Olympic triathlon gold medallist Jonny Brownlee started last year's Rudding ParkRace, in which more than 300 runners navigated their way through 18th century parkland at the privately-owned Harrogate resort.
This year's event, which will be held on May 9, will raise money in support of former Leeds Rhinos player Rob Burrow's Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Appeal.
There are 450 places available and the entry fee is £25 for affiliated runners and £27 for non-affiliated runner.

Nuno César de Sá, Rudding Park hotel manager, said the 2022 race had a "great vibe", adding:
“Rudding House made the perfect backdrop for the finish line where the prize giving took place as guests enjoyed music, hog roast and refreshments as the sun set.
"We were thrilled to raise over £4,000 for the Queen’s Green Canopy and this year we are super excited to be supporting Rob Burrow and his family whose tireless campaign to raise awareness and funds to support families living with MND is inspiring."
The start of last year's race.
Last year’s winner was Nathan Edmonson from Ilkley Harriers, who recorded a time of 34 mins 25 secs. The fastest female was Charlotte Mason from City of York AC in a time of 41 mins 29 secs.
