Exact start/finish/registration to be confirmed.

The Gargrave route is the jewel in the crown of all our events, set just outside the pretty village of Gargrave in the midst of the Yorkshire Dales, whats not to like. The route follows the Leeds and Liverpool canal through scenic countryside. The event is great for beginners or more experienced runners, with a generous 6.5 hour cut off. The course takes place on canal towpath and is on the whole flat, giving you the chance to bimble, jeff, chuff or run like steam train. There are plenty of water and feed stations located throughout the course, to make sure you're fully hydrayted and sugared up! You'll also meet some of our wonderful marshals along the course who'll give you lots of encouragement. All finshers will recieve a bespoke medal, lots of lovely goodies and space to chat with other runners and marshals.

Please note that bibs will be given out on the day of registration.

During the race important things to note:
We try to be cup-less: Our feed stations are normally around every three miles and offer drinks and a range of food, but please bring your own re-usable cup or bottle.

Headphones: Most of our courses are off-road, but we still prefer you not to wear earphones, and due to on-course incidents, we have taken the decision to ban large over-ear headphones. These block out any other sounds and don't allow runners to hear marshals, vehicles, or other users of the route. If you do need to wear earphones, then please use bone conducting earphones or "one in one out" in-ear pieces. Please note there may will be unmarshalled road crossings.

Transfers/Deferrals: You can self-serve your transfer or deferral on this website or “Let’s Do This,” depending on where you booked. Please try not to change your event or details on the day as it causes delays and queues at registration. Defers are only allowed up to 48 hours before the event, this you can do yourself online.

Please notify the closest marshal if you are struggling, injured, or want to retire.

We no longer mail out a race brief as most of the information is here on the website however, we advise you to visit our FAQ section and join the “Grim Up North Chat” group on Faceboo,k which will help with any other questions you have.
