Farwell See York Run York Challenge : event details
The event is a lapped, 7-hour timed challenge on the Turpin Challenge route at York Knavesmire. Laps are approximately 4.37 miles each. Runners may stop after any lap; all finishers receive a bespoke medal and a goody bag. There is a strict 7-hour cutoff; timing will record each runner up to the completion of the last lap finished within that period. A family fun run precedes the main event on a 1 mile grass loop. Parents or friends may run with younger participants but must enter separately to receive their own medal.
