Olympic gold medalist Jonny Brownlee to appear at Harrogate 10k
Olympic gold medalist Jonny Brownlee is set to appear at this year's Harrogate 10k.
The annual event, which is celebrating its fifth year, will be held on Sunday, July 2, and start and finish at the Harrogate Sports and Fitness Centre.
British triathlon star Brownlee will present prizes to the top three runners in each award category.
The 33-year-old has won three Olympic medals in his career, including bronze in the individual triathlon at London 2012 and silver in the same race at Rio 2016.
He went on to win gold in the mixed relay at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
The event organisers, local running club Harrogate Harriers, are gearing up for the event with over 90 members volunteering to accommodate runners of all levels.
