Back for its 3rd outing York University Challenge is a 6 hour lapped event taking place through the grounds of York University. It is an out and back route of 2 miles   The route incorporates an ascent that in York terms is challenging, but in reality is just a pimple.

It is your challenge. You decide the distance. You can run 1 lap, finish and collect your medal. You can run 6 laps and then to the cone of doom to complete a half marathon, 13 laps and then to the cone of doom for a marathon or just keep on going for the full 6 hours!

All runners receive a fabulous bookmark style bespoke medal and a goody bag. There will be homemade cake for all.

There is free parking at York University. Toilet facilities are available at York Sports Centre.

This is a cupless event so all runners are requested to bring their own labelled bottle/cup. This can be placed on the table at the start/finish area and accessed each lap. We will have water and squash available and can fill bottles before, during or after the event.

Are you up to the challenge?

Final race information will be e-mailed the week before the event and race numbers are collected from Race Registration on the morning of the event.
