Is this the Last Ever Guy Fawkes 10? Running the Birstwith Brute, Swincliffe Swine & For Fawkes Sake

- The Guy Fawkes 10 was always one of my favourite races. Ten miles of brutal hills in beautiful countryside rewarded with the biggest bag of chocolate... What could be better? Unfortunately this race always clashes with Poppy's birthday weekend so I've not had the chance to run it for absolutely years! Luckily Poppy was at a friend's birthday party and I could make it to, what looks like the last, Guy Fawkes 10 at the stunning Ripley Castle.
A week of running up hills and mountains in Scotland probably wasn't the best way to prepare for this race but life is for living and my legs forgave me eventually!
Huge thanks to Nidd Valley Road Runners for so many years of such an epic race. I've got everything crossed that we can celebrate it's 40th year in style next year!

Loved the look of this run. I watched it whilst on the bike and it felt like I was cycling the route 😂
There were people cycling past us as we ran up the hills and I was longing for a bike 🤣🤣🤣
Looks far to good to cancel next year. Thanks for sharing.
Fingers crossed 🤞😃
No. 333 = Only half evil 😂 Thank u for the great energy 👍🏼🏃♀️💨
Half angel half devil... Perfect balance 😜😂
Congratulations to your Run. 👍 The Route looks very interesting with a few Hills. It‘s sad that this event took place for the last time.
Fingers crossed it continues 🙏🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@ that sounds good. 👍 Many Running Events were held for the last Time in the last few years.
@andreasgotz7537 true, it's sad isn't it 😩
Lovely goody bag!
So good 😃 🍫🍫🍫

What a beautiful course and it would be a shame for that race not to exist any more. Those hills definitely looked challenging as well. I really wish there were more 10 mile races around. It is around the 10M mark in a half marathon where the wheels start to fall off for me. I was reading about the history of Guy Fawkes as well -- is he regarded as a hero or villain? As always, love to watch your running adventures and I have to say that goodie bag looked awesome.
Definitely a villain! Fingers crossed this exists next year, I've a good feeling it will, even if it has to start and finish somewhere else 🙃
Do they just raid a sweet shop for this race?! 🍭🍬🍫
I think they must have done 🤣
what a good race it looked with chocolate many years ago my fav was a bar called 5-4-3-2-1 love hilly races one of my favs is Eyam half marathon
I've not done that one 🙃
@@NicolaRuns very tough course
Always so cheerful, amazing!
Only when running 🙃🤣
For Fawkes Sake = 😂😂😂
It's brilliant isn't it?! 😂
Maybe headphone guy asked first and got dispensation on mental health grounds 🤔🤞
I think as it's on safety grounds it wouldn't be granted as safety is most important 🤷🏻♀️
@NicolaRuns very true, because I work in mental health care and inclusivity I tend to jump to that as a reason but yes you are right, safety is paramount xxx
A bit sad it wasn't cup less... Although compostable still manufacturing grrrr..xxx
True, I can't wait until all events are cupless and we just fill our own bottles but I think we're a way off as yet 🙃
@@NicolaRuns I get so sad when I see running debris xx
@emmarunyeard6832 same! Hooray for sweepers and clearing the little but the environmental impact remains 😕
