It's quite trail-ish with a long stretch of undulating road towards the end. However, there's a good atmosphere and I really enjoyed it last year.
It's part of the village fete and so the centre of town is closed to traffic. You park on the grass verge by the lane leading from the A65, and it can be a bit of a walk so allow time or turn up at registration already changed and ready to go.
Thanks for that. I like this area for running so hoping to get the half night off to attend. Off for 9 days now so should get a bit of training/racing in
The A65 can be a nightmare cos of Appleby Fair. Horse and carts etc
Leave plenty of time to get there

I did this a couple of years ago, the low point was tripping up over a bit of limestone on the descent and getting a good set of grass burns but the high point was Mrs Alf greeting me with a full pint as I crossed the finishing line next to the pub
Might go for this, though I've a 10k race the day before.
Was running the Settle Saunter round there on Saturday, about 27 miles the Garmin wearers were saying, very beautiful. The Feizor and Oxenber woods are currently spectacular with flowers.
Stuff the 10k BL..no room fo' road racin' on 'ere..save it for Austwick.
Don't tell 'em 'bout Oxenber Woods..keep it a secret!
I know, I know, but the club championship requires me to complete a few.
Anyway, my wife is working the Bank Holiday and the children are at home. Might just park them on the village green for an hour with a box of sandwiches while I run.
