We thought the inaugural race was a tough act to follow, but Act II was even better!
A record number of runners kept the organisers and helpers very busy, but it was all worthwhile for such a great day.
See you next year!

From curtain up until the final presentation of prizes, our new Harrogate Theatre Race was enjoyed by all.
First off was the Fun Run, with 150 athletes young and old tearing around the 2.5km course. Then the premier event,
the 10k itself, with over 330 runners. It was never going to be a course for PB's, but the long downhill to the
half-way drinks point and finish was enjoyed by all. The relaxed, informal atmosphere in the Valley Gardens
made it a great event for all levels of runner and their families. Thanks to the many helpers and sponsors. See you next year!
