This was my first Grim up North event and It was brilliant, It was friendly, well organised, good fun, excellent feeding stations, well manned with plenty of super friendly marshals'.

The directions were very clearly marked, there was a fun and lively atmosphere.

The photography and medal were also outstanding quality. I purchased a hat and hoodie, again fabulous quality and value for money.

I look forward to attending Grim up North events in the future.

Great event. The marshalls/event staff were very friendly and motivating. Lovely atmosphere all round. Hilly - but then so is Knaresborough - so to be expected!

A lovely event, yes there’s banks to run up but also to run down too.
A popular event with other distances taking place at the same time so be prepared for moving over to allow runners coming passed.
Well organised, and the finish.. best finish line bar none.. drinks, hot food, cakes, crisps and your medal.
We ran this as a club event; a mix of abilities all of whom thoroughly enjoyed it.

Although the hill at the start was a surprise, the whole event was brilliant. Well organised and marshalled as with all the grim events. Loved it!

Fab scenery and as friendly as everyone said it would be.
Loved the Hotdog too!
Couldn't say the same about the hill at the start though!

...apart from the hill at the start

My first run with It's grim up North and can't wait for the next one!

This was my first Grim up North event & it was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere was amazing & everyone was so friendly. I will definitely be doing more . Thank you

Friendly helpful marshalls, well organised, friendly runners, great scenery, what’s not to like!?

Well run, good scenery, good atmosphere and not too busy. Plenty of snacks to keep you going during and after the race.

Fab organisation and lovely route - thank you

Great relaxed atmosphere and fab after race goodies, especially the veggie hot dog!

The Race is set in a lovely place and the staff running it are extremely friendly and supportive.
Lots of lovely snacks and food along the way which is a moral booster.
It could have done with a portaloo somewhere along the trail as the public ones were ideally located.
Also the trail was very busy with walkers and cyclists so at points may it difficult to pass.
Overall is was a great event and would definitely do another one but probably at a different place.

This is a brilliant but brutal run. A mile and a quarter up hill from the start is a tough start but then it flattens out so you can your breath back in time to do it all again

Real mix of a course with a bit of a slope at the start which gets harder each time you do a lap but the path is ideal and course and location of the food stations good. Nice support shown from spectators and the other runners. I just ran rather than raced this one with a friend but loved it.

Well organised, friendly and welcoming! It’s a tough course with a few hills that are killer, but great course and I did manage a PB somehow!
