Harrogate 10k to return to Crimple Valley this weekend

Runners at the start line of the annual Harrogate 10k.

The annual Harmony Energy Run Harrogate 10k race is set to return this weekend.

Participants of all ages and abilities will run the route through the Crimple Valley on Sunday (30th June).

Last year almost 1,000 runners took part, with the start and finish taking place at the Harrogate Sports and Fitness Centre. 

The 10k and Junior Fun Run follows an undulating route that is approximately 70% tarmac road, with the rest on footpaths. 

The event is organised by Harrogate Harriers.

Harrogate Harriers committee member Issie Row said:

“Last year was a brilliant success and we’re excited that this year will be an even bigger event filled with food, drink and music.

“We’re also bringing back bespoke medals to celebrate runners completing this great achievement.”

The event is sponsored by Harmony Energy, a Knaresborough-based renewable energy developer. 

Peter Kavanagh, CEO of Harmony Energy, said:

“It’s a delight supporting this brilliant local event.

“It’s our 3rd year sponsoring, and each year we’ve seen more people take part and we know it will be another great event come June.

“I want to wish all those participating the best of luck.”
