This is the 3rd year i have done this event and this was by far the toughest year! The Yorkshire weather leading up to the event meant the course was extra muddy\boggy this year - even in dry Februarys there is some mud, so this year there was a lot and i mean a lot - makes for very hard going across the hills and there are plenty of hills! so this was not going to be a PB.
But despite the mud, this is a great venue, with stunning scenery - where else do you see a herd of over 100 deer whilst out on your run.

I find the event is well organised, with good communication leading up to the day - its easy to get to by Car (dont know about bus links sorry) with plenty of onsite parking, this year was a little trickier as they didnt want people parking and getting stiuck on muddy fields so they delayed the start of the 10k to spread out the field of entrants.

This year i think the organisers listened to feedback from previous years and provided a much better medal. You also get a free techical Tshirt - if you want one (you pick this up before the start so you can run in it) - at the end you got water (in a can) and a banana.

Will i do it again - yes definetly! Fingers crossed it wont be so muddy\boggy next year.

This is my second year at the tough trail race. When I say tough, I really mean tough. The elevation is around 1300 ft and the mud... ohhhhh the mud. This year with the rain was particularly bad. The organisation is good and this year even more so due to the conditions with tents...

This is my second year at the tough trail race. When I say tough, I really mean tough. The elevation is around 1300 ft and the mud... ohhhhh the mud. This year with the rain was particularly bad. The organisation is good and this year even more so due to the conditions with tents and heaters so so welcome! The course really is beautiful BUT it’s trail. Proper trail so buyers beware. This course will test any runner... but it’s well worth it.

I struggled to find a suitable indication of just how hilly this race was and thought I’d prepared well, I was wrong. Lots and lots of hills but each one is worth the views when you get to the top. Later in the race, the half marathon merged with the 10K so for a time the path got quite crowded. There were also deer running straight at the runners to turn around at the last moment. Altogether an enjoyable run but more hill workouts needed to succeed.

There is nothing to fault with the BHF Harewood House 10K race. The race is set in the grounds of Harewood House. As we ran, we saw grazing cows and sheep. Moreover, we saw a herd of deer running across the grounds. Next year, I am hoping to either to run either the 10K r...

There is nothing to fault with the BHF Harewood House 10K race. The race is set in the grounds of Harewood House. As we ran, we saw grazing cows and sheep. Moreover, we saw a herd of deer running across the grounds. Next year, I am hoping to either to run either the 10K race again, or attempt the Half Marathon.

Well organised race in the beautiful but hilly grounds of Harewood House. BHF do a great job. I ran it in 2018 and i would do it again. There are plenty of beautiful views around the course. And the other attraction are the hills - more than enough. The one let down was the poor car park exits - not sure why as it worked well the previous years. Free digital downloads of race photos was a bonus. And entry into the 2k fun run was good too

Let me start with a simple statement. This is a seriously cool race that I will run again next year. If you love trail races and are happy to tackle a bad ass course then this race is definitely for you. However, if you haven't trained for trail, or haven't got a decent level of fitness then this course will chew you up and spit you out without so much as a 'ohhh look, Red Deer on the course'. 1200 elevation gain, mud, tricky technical sections, open fields with cross winds and a beast of a hill climb to finish. It's got everything you'd want! If you like the path less trodden and beautiful countryside then this is the race for you. I wore a hydration pack which served me well as the drink stations were not exactly frequent. Don't expect many spectators on route and getting away after the event takes time. The race village is easy to find and parking on site not a problem. This year we were given technical t-shirts before the event. A lot of people wore them which made for great photos but honestly the t-shirts weren't the best quality so I'd stick to what I know. Besides, a finishes T before finishing? The bling - totally nowt special and no goody bag. At the end of the day this is a great cause, the race is incredibly tough but beautiful and a real trail treat. If you love trail, this is totally for you BUT don't underestimate it. I saw seasoned runners suffering on this course.

Great race. Really beautiful route. KM markers every 2k. Didn’t get the note about picking up a t shirt BEFORE the race so by the time I went at the finish they didn’t have my size left. Good facilities and ample parking but if you were there early you were are the back of the queue to exit with every other line of cars all merging into the same queue for the traffic lights.

This was my sscond year running this event. Its a tough undulating trail course but the scenery and views off the estate (watching deer running in the fields and red kites flying overhead) make this a great route. Luckily the weather has been pretty good in recent days so the route was not as muddy as last year. If it had rained heavily recently then it would be much tougher. Course navigation is simple with lots of Marshalls supporting and giving directions. All other aspects are well organsied such as enough loo’s, easy to park etc. Only slight negative - perhaps another water station could be provided so they are slightly more frequent (but that could be due to logistics in remote areas etc) and there was no chocolate/protein bar at the end which i am sure they had last year (i was starving) , final point the medal (and its ribbon) does not show the year of the race - woild be nice if it did, exact same medal as lasy year. Overall though its a fantastic challenging course and i will be back again next year.

My first full trail half marathon and what a baptism of fire! An absolutely outstanding scenic course but really tough especially if, like me you're used to road racing!A real mixture of terrain from tracks to fields and woodland and some of the views of Harewood Estate were amazing. Luckily the weather has been kind all week so it wasn't too muddy and it was really kind during the race ! I would imagine it would be different in wet weather!. A well marked course with lots of direction changes which made the distance pass a lot quicker. Really well marshalled and decent water stations. Crowd support was sparse on the course as expected but good at the finish. Nice medal. Totally different experience for me but one which I enjoyed overall Expect me back next year!
