Event overview

6 hour lapped event taking place through the grounds of York University. It is an out and back route of 2.2 miles. The route incorporates a slight ascent that in York terms is challenging, but in reality is just a pimple. It is your challenge. You decide the distance. You can run 1 lap, finish and collect your medal. You can run 6 laps to complete a tough half marathon, 13 laps for a marathon or just keep on going for the full 6 hours! All runners receive a bespoke medal (new medal for 2025) and a goody bag. There will be homemade cake for all. There will be mulled wine and festive goodies for all runners too. There is free parking at York University. Toilet facilities are available at York Sports Centre / before, after and during the event. This is a cupless event so all runners are requested to bring their own labelled bottle/cup. This can be placed on the table at the start/finish area and accessed each lap. We will have water and squash available and can fill bottles before, during or after the event. We will also have a fully stocked aid station with sweets, savoury snacks and fresh fruit. Final race information will be e-mailed the week before the event and race numbers are collected from Race Registration on the morning of the event. Are you up to the challenge?

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.
