Knaresborough Crag Rat Run : 5 mile mixed terrain around the River Nidd
The Knaresborough Crag Rat Run is a single-lap, undulating 5 mile multi-terrain race around the southern fringes of Knaresborough that largely follows the River Nidd. The route starts at Knaresborough Cricket Club and combines trails down the crag, tarmaced riverside sections, a woodland trail and a narrow riverside path. Runners cross the bridge near the Petrifying Well and then ascend the crag toward the finish. Approximately half of the course is on tarmac.
Race numbers with embedded timing chips are issued on race day. Prizes are awarded for overall placings, age-category winners and spot prizes; vouchers from local hospitality venues supplement the normal prizes. Fastest-runner prizes are sponsored and additional prizes are donated by local businesses. Finishers receive a medal and a goody bag.
