I always enjoy a grim up north run. This was the first time I'd run Beeston.

Registration was simple and easy, held in a nearby pub, which was just as well as it was lashing it down.

The organisers held every one in the pub for s bit longer to keep us dry. We all walked to the start enemas for a quick brief  then the race started.

The route was a loop inside the park then a loop outside the park. Loads of signage, loads of marshals, all of them were friendly and encouraging dispite being stood out on pouring rain.

The other runners were all really friendly as well. 

At the finish there was a medal, beer, chocolate and cake!!

Excellent.

This was the first time It's Grim Up North Running have held the Beeston 10k. For those not in the know, Beeston is an area in the south of Leeds. Registration was in a local pub two minutes walk from the start, which was in Cross Flats park. The route was a lap of the park, then a lap which went around the outside of the park - twice. 99% of the route was on tarmac so this is classed as a road race. Once again, the organisers managed to produce another cracking medal. And of course, a bottle of beer and cake at the finish were welcome. Great event, well organised and friendly!
