  • 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 🤣🤣🤣

    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.

    • @NicolaRuns
      @NicolaRuns  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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 🙃

      @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
