Wednesday, 7 February 2024 15:00

Rudding Park Hotel in Harrogate has announced the return of its 10k multi-terrain ParkRace in aid of three local charities.

Rudding Park's 10km race returns for third year Entries are now open for the return of Rudding Park's 10km 'ParkRace.' The multi-terrain trail race will return for a third year on Tuesday 14th May 2024. Once again, participants will get the chance to run a route created specifically for the event, amongst the 18th Century parkland of the privately-owned luxury resort. Matthew Wilkinson, Head of Kitchens at Rudding Park and organiser of the event, said:

“Last year we welcomed over 400 runners who brought friends and family to cheer them on towards the finishing line. "With Rudding House as the backdrop for the prize giving, music, hog roast and refreshments as the sun set, it made for a great party vibe!"

He added:

"Rudding ParkRace really has become a highlight of our Giving Back initiative and this year we are delighted to announce we will be supporting Martin House, Yorkshire Children Charity and Barnardo’s; three charities we have supported for over twenty years.”

Last year’s Rudding ParkRace winner was Tom Adams from Ilkley Harriers with a time of 35 minutes 13 secs. Second place was John Ashcroft from Leeds City AC, with a time of 35 minutes 46 secs.
