Race date: Saturday 2nd February 2019
Grim up North describes the race as: “This challenging 5 mile lapped course will test your running abilities, starting in the lovely North Yorkshire town of Pateley Bridge you will run on mixed undulating terrain, but will be distracted by the beautiful scenery.”
Nicole Brown describes it like this:
“Lovely day at the inaugural It’s Grim Up North Patelely Pie N Pint run. Fabulous weather. Best pork pie I’ve ever tasted in my goodie bag. And a bottle opener medal. Needless to say, I highly recommend it.”
You can chose between 5 run distances: 5 miles, 10 miles, 20 miles, Marathon or Ultra and all of them look hard!
