← Turpin Challenge

Loved this run. This was my first see york, run York event and I really enjoyed it. Registration was simple and well organised, easy parking and tea and coffee available. The brief was clear and well presented, with Dick himself seeing us off. The route was laps around York race course and was really varied, road, grass, woodland and past Tyburn. The beer festival was on at the course which provided distraction and a huge amount of jealousy. The two feed stations were well stocked and the simple course meant only a few marshals were needed and they were all really supportive. Clearly there weren't many locals supporting but the support from other runners was fantastic, small events can be fairly tough as you can spent a lot of time by yourself but the encouragement from other runners is always welcome. It was a 6 hour challenge but blisters and chub-rub saw me stop at about 5:20. Great medal and goody bag at the end. Well done to all involved

Thank you so much John. Thanks for coming over and joining us. Sorry to hear about your blisters and chub rub - I hope you recover soon! - See York Run York
