Event overview

The event commemorates the life of Ken Bingley who had a very long and successful running career with Wakefield Harriers and then Ackworth Road Runners. He was well known on the local race circuit and an inspiration to many. He set club age category records at all distances and was a regular at the London Marathon. A true gentleman who always had time to offer advice and support to newer runners. All profit from the event will be donated to charity. The course starts and finishes in the Country park, taking in good trails both in and outside the park itself. For those familiar with Frickley Country parkrun - we go DOWN Zig-Zag Hill rather than up it!

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
