Running for Rob Burrow for M.N.D.

Rudding Park (https://www.ruddingpark.co.uk/) in Harrogate held its second 10K multi terrain trail race on Tuesday 9^th May 2023, after the success of its inaugural race in 2022 when funds were raised for The Queen’s Green Canopy.

Over 400 participants ran a route created specifically for the event, amongst the 18^th Century parkland of the privately owned, luxury resort and raised a massive £4834 for charity.

This year they chose to support former Leeds Rhino’s player Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease (https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/Robburrowappeal) . Rob Burrow, and his family and friends, have tirelessly campaigned to raise awareness and funds to support families living with MND. Their efforts are nothing short of magnificent.

Olympian and ‘Friend of Rudding Park’ Jonny Brownlee set the runners off at the start line.

Jamie, and a few of his friends, made up some of the 400+ mixed ability runners. Many of them had never run 10K before, however, they all managed to complete the course.

Their efforts were worthwhile as following the race, participants and spectators enjoyed drinks and a hog roast in the fan zone by the finishing line at Rudding House, with its views over the Vale of York. D.J. Mark Green played on the balcony, helping to create a party vibe.

Well done to all the entrants.
