The Yorkshire Run
for WaterAid - 5k & 10k
Located in the
Washburn Valley on the southern side of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty, the scenic Swinsty Reservoir is a popular site for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. The accessibility-friendly paths provide a great
basis for a running route, where the relatively flat nature of the reservoir
circuit lends its self nicely to a PB-challenging pace! Note that most of the
race takes place on roads or paths, with short segments on a flat dirt track.
Course is mainly flat with only one moderate hill. All money raised from the
event helps WaterAid bring clean water to 130, 000 people in Ethiopia. Yorkshire
Water and WaterAid have committed to raising funds for various projects in
Ethiopia, all funds and sponsorship raised from this event go towards
achieving this goal. Note that due to the location and parking facilities, car
sharing is encouraged, with a discount to the entry fee and priority car
parking for cars with multiple occupants. Keep updated with the latest news on
