Harrogate 10k to return this summer
The annual Harmony Energy Run Harrogate 10k around Crimple Valley is set to return this year.
The event is the biggest event organised each year by running club Harrogate Harriers. It is once again sponsored by Harmony Energy, a Knaresborough-based renewable energy developer.
Last year, almost 1,000 runners participated in the event, which starts and finishes at the Harrogate Sports and Fitness Centre.
Crimple Valley, which the Yorkshire Agricultural Society closed to the public last year, will reopen for runners, who finish the course by running up the dreaded 'Crimple killer' for the final kilometre.
The 10k and junior fun run follow a route that is about 70% tarmac road. The rest is on footpaths, making it suitable for beginners and seasoned club runners alike.
