First time doing one of the events. Traveled from Ireland to visit family and run with my best mate. I have done a lot of running events around the world the past 15 years and have to say i cant find one thing negative about the organisation, event, information etc. Car parking was plenty in Morrisons and a few min walk over the bridge to the start. The food after the race was outstanding and you wont go hungry. Everyone really friendly and made us feel very welcome. The course was flat and lovely setting. Looking forward to booking another race soon. 10/10

Always a great event with Grim! The one thing that could be improved is the finish area as there's often people in the way on the final stretch.

It's been 2 years since our last Grim Up North event and we've missed the Grim experience. Will definitely prioritise one or two for next year

What a great race! This was my first time doing a grim up north race- and it definitely won’t be my last! It was such a friendly atmosphere, the volunteers were really motivating and the mince pies at the end were a great touch! Thanks so much for a great morning Grim up No...
