Unlike the Knavesmire Edge route, this route is all on paths but like Knavesmire Edge, it completely avoids the Service Track.
Each 3.65 mile loop starts and finishes at the Race HQ at Bustardthorpe Change Rooms (at the back of the Racecourse). Free parking is available on Racecourse Road. The changing rooms have toilets and showers and can accessed at the end of each completed loop.
The route stays on the paths from Bustardthorpe and does a loop around York College, before coming back up to the start/finish. There is a short section where runners use the same path in different directions, so a great event for making new friends or not feeling you are on your own.
This year's event will have a new bespoke memento as well as all the usual chocolate and cake that you would expect from a SYRY event
It's a 6 hour running challenge and you can run as few or as many laps as you wish within the 6 hour limit. All runners, no matter how many laps they have run, will receive a goody bag and memento.
