← Slaithwaite Slog
What a beautiful little town Slaithwaite is, or pronounced locally as Slaw'it. As with most Grim Up North events, they offered a 5k, 10k, HM, 20 miler and Full marathon. I opted for the 10k which was an out and back along the canal. The route was very busy with other runners, walkers and cyclists - but the staggered start times of all the events worked really well. Don't believe anyone when they say canals are flat... This was tarmac, cobbles, fields, puddles, hills and tunnels! Beautiful scenery throughout and an added bonus was the sunshine! Upon finishing, you are provided with a fantastic medal, beer, chocolate and as much cake as you eat! Brilliant event, great location, friendly and well organised.
