Rudding Park Hotel in Harrogate is launching a 10km multi-terrain race to raise money for the Queen’s platinum jubilee initiative to plant more trees.
The Rudding ParkRace, as it will be known, will take participants through 300 acres of parkland.
Profits from the race will be donated to The Queen’s Green Canopy, an initiative that encourages people to plant a tree in honour of the jubilee.
The race will be held on Tuesday, May 10 and the 18th century hotel will act as a backdrop for the finish line.
Simon Mackaness, owner of Rudding Park, said:
“Rudding Park is set within 300 acres of parkland which forms part of our heritage and we understand the important role trees play in combatting climate change.
“It is crucial we all do our bit to protect the woodland so we are delighted to be able to support the Queen’s canopy in this celebratory year and commit to planting a tree in our grounds to represent each Rudding ParkRace competitor.”
