Loved every moment of this event! The atmosphere was great! Vicky W
This is a wonderful friendly event made extra special by the Marshalls and event volunteers. We loved running in darkness whilst feeling safe and supported. The route was clearly explained and marked out where required. The aid stations were met with a smiley cheer and encouragement and the finish line was equally as supportive. A good mixture of abilities of runners. I felt just as valued as the faster runners even though I was nearly last. A beautiful chunky medal and the end too. We will be back and looking for more Grim Up North Events. A big thank you to all involved. Lizzie D
