For 2016 we will have a new course.
Please collect your race numbers and chip from the tent on the grass verge alongside the road into the Yorkshire Water estate, close to the start/finish
The course is fairly flat and fast and will be wholly in the grounds of the Yorkshire Water Esholt estate, starting at 7.30pm.
Route description
The 2016 course will start from the Apperley Bridge end of the Yorkshire Water Esholt estate and will be an out and back course towards the Esholt village and returning to finish back at the Apperley Bridge end. There is limited parking, with street parking on Harrogate Road, Apperley Lane and Apperley Road and a small car-park at Rawdon Meadows. There is no parking within the Yorkshire Water estate.
The new Apperley Bridge train station (with parking for 300 cars) is very close to the start with trains running from Leeds (arrive 18:47) and Shipley/Bingley/Keighley (arrive 18:42).
Hi just wondering if it is going to be possible to park in Esholt and jog to the start from there? Will the gates be open?
Yes, provided you don’t park on the filter bed road. The best place to park, if jogging from Esholt, is the car park on station road. Note that this is a fairly small car park and so it may fill very quickly.
