Registration opens at 08:30 AM with a final check-in time of 09:45 AM before the start whistle sounds promptly at 10:00 AM. The event includes cut-off times to ensure participants maintain a steady pace, such as vacating checkpoint two by 13:00 PM. Beyond the physical challenge, runners will enjoy various amenities like live tracking and timing services, aid stations along the route for hydration and nutrition, and a hearty finisher meal at the end.

About Grassington
Learn more about the host city, Grassington.
Grassington is a small town in Wharfedale in North Yorkshire, set in the limestone scenery of the Yorkshire Dales. You come here to browse in the cobbled market square and to hike the hills. The 2020 TV adaption of All Creatures Great and Small was filmed here, as the original setting of a veterinary practice in Thirsk had become too busy and modern. In 2021, the population was 1100.
