This event will be fully marshalled for your safety, with medical support provided.

There are 3 water stops on the route which are marked on the route map (Note: Water stop 2 is for both the half marathon and the 10k route).

Family and friends are welcome to join us on the day. The main event site where the start and finish will take place is located in front of the house, which is where the car park is also situated. Harewood House will be closed at the time of the event, therefore the house, grounds and children's play area will not be accessible. The event site will have catering facilities, toilets and a BHF fundraising tent for spectators to make use of during the day.

Entry Options:

Option 1 - Fundraising: Pay a smaller registration fee and fundraise. To help you smash your fundraising, we’ll provide you with additional support.

Option 2 - Self-funder: Pay a higher registration fee and do not commit to fundraise. Your fee will then cover the cost of us putting on our incredible event and ensures as much money as possible goes towards our life saving research. If you choose this option, we would still welcome any additional fundraising from you and be happy to support.

Your entry fee covers the cost of organising the event, such as venue hire, toilets and medical cover.
