What a delight this event is, a varied, beautiful, challenging route, hopefully with tulips.

Totally off road and all within in the grounds of the magnificient Temple Newsam estate, one of the jewels in the crown of Leeds.

Runners will be able to choose from 4 distances that suit them best. The course will comprise a 6.6 mile loop meaning runners are never far from the base and will feel well-supported.

The route is undulating in places but will be manageable for both beginners as well as experienced runners. This looped route will be well-marshaled and signposted throughout.

When you complete your race, everyone is encouraged to stay around and have a chat with friends and enjoy the post-race feast.

The terrain is paths, grass and trail and the route is a loop.

A warm welcome from the Grim Team.

Bespoke Medal for all runners

Feed stations on the route

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 oncourse 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. We also have unmarshalled road crossing where you will need to cross yourself. If you do need to wear earphones, then please use bone conducting earphones or "one in one out" in ear pieces.

Know your route: We offer downloadable GPX files for our routes. Our routes are mainly off road and not every corner or junction will have a marshal. Please ensure you have a version of the route to help you navigate.

Withdrawal: If you need to withdraw during an event please let the nearest marshal know. In certain circumstances we allow runners to drop distances during an event. Please speak to the timers or RD at the end of your run.

Transfers/Deferrals: You can self-serve your transfer or deferral either on this website 

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 Facebook which will help with any other questions you have.
