FOUNTAINS 10K
Come and experience the 'Hill of Pain' and 'The Puddle'!
The Fountains 10K is a great event for runners of all abilities with a mixed terrain route starting from the village of Grantley, near Ripon, North Yorkshire. It's an undulating route that takes in quiet country roads, off-road trails and scenic moorland within Nidderdale. Please note that part of the course may be waterlogged! Despite that we would expect all runners to finish within 90 minutes.
View the route on MapMyRide, Viewranger, OS Getamap and Sports Distance Calculator.
FUN RUN - Cancelled for 2021
The Fun Run is just over 2km - starting in the village playground, along a very quiet rural road, through privately owned fields and back to the playground.
Unfortunately, due to social distancing requirements, we have had to cancel the fun run for the 2021 race. The race will return in 2022! Get training kids!
