About the race

Gunpowder Plod is a multi-distance running event on York’s Knavesmire. Runners can select 1, 2, or 3 loops of the familiar 5k loop, with each loop about 1 kilometer long; most of the surface is a paved service track, with roughly 1 km of grass per loop. The event has a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere and includes a 1-mile grass fun run for younger participants.

All runners receive a themed medal, chocolates, and cake at the finish. The race is cupless—bring a labeled bottle for water or squash at the aid station. The HQ is at Hamilton Panthers Clubhouse with facilities and free on-street parking nearby.

Max entrants 150. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
