Subarctic temperatures greeted participants who gathered at the startline of this festive race event brought to the running community by South Leeds Lakers. Dan Jenkins tagged up in blue and white to represent Eccleshill Road Runners. This local multi terrain 10km is a race not to be missed! As well as the 10k there was a free children’s 800m fun run on the track, with all youngsters receiving a reward for their efforts. Fancy dress is also encouraged in this seasonal 10k trail race that usually fills up. The single loop course sets off on the track at South Leeds Stadium before runners are faced with the infamous Scrooge Hill as they head for the ancient woodland of Middleton Woods. A winding trail route will present a challenge for those looking for a quick time, whilst the beautiful surroundings will make it an enjoyable canter for those of a more sedate pace. Old Ebenezer may have been a miser but the same can’t be said of the good folk of South Leeds. A bespoke finishers t-shirt awaited all who crossed the line. Dan finished this weekend seasonal winter run in (48:43) Brilliant running, well done!
