For anyone who has visited Bolton Abbey near Skipton in North Yorkshire, will know how beautiful it is...! The event was organised by Sue Ryder and was a 5 mile trail route through woodland trails, along the river and through open fields. Entry to the race included car parking which usually costs £10. You needed to print a parking pass which was in the pre race email, and this could be used during the day - so a day out at Bolton Abbey could also be factored in.   

Prior to the start, the atmosphere was great with a coffee truck, a pop up bar, music playing - and the sun was shining. The weather could not have been better for a Summer Solstice race!

The route was quite challenging in places but ended with a gentle downhill to the finish, where you were handed a running buff and a stunning medal. 

This event was in it's third year and sold out again. It well worth entering, and so long as the weather is kind, it's a great evening.

I'll definately be back.
