The Castle Run Series - Castle Howard

Sun 23rd July 2023

A runner in athletic gear jogs past an elegant historical building with intricate architecture and a large central dome. The building is surrounded by well-maintained hedges and gardens. The runner is in motion on a pathway under a partly cloudy sky. A man in athletic clothing runs on a gravel path past a large historic building, with "Royal Air Force" printed on his outfit. He wears sunglasses and appears focused on his run. The sky is clear, and the scene suggests a race or marathon event. Two male athletes in green and yellow triathlon suits celebrate at a race finish line, with one jumping onto the other's back. They are smiling and cheering, surrounded by applauding onlookers. A historic building is visible in the background under a sunny sky.

Very picturesque and well organised event (too bad the weather didn't play nice). The marshals on route were awesome and the stations were well stocked.
