Spectators are welcome to attend, with Your Harrogate’s Pete Egerton set to help out. Team Coordinator Matt Walker said:
“We’ve had a great level of interest already this year. “People have reacted really positively to the theme of Great Inventions and there has also been a great reaction to the entry form moving online this year.”The Great Knaresborough Bed Race Race returns on Saturday 8th June. A fancy dress parade will start from the castle at 1pm and the race will start from Conyngham Hall at 3pm. Contact organisers lionbedrace@hotmail.co.uk with any queries ahead of the event.
