Two Eccleshill Road Runners, both of whom who have family connections to East Yorkshire, took on the South Cave 10k this weekend. Hosted by Kingston Upon Hull Athletics Club, 2023 saw the third edition of the race. Starting and finishing in the picturesque East Yorkshire town of South Cave, the race takes in some beautiful scenery through quiet country roads and provides just enough of a challenge to keep even the seasoned striders on their toes. The race starts at the beautiful gates of Cave Castle – not many start lines in Yorkshire can boast such a battle-ready backdrop 🙂  through the historic town of South Cave (not a village, locals will remind you: it was granted a town charter by King Edward I in 1291!). Participants then run through the countryside to the pretty village of Ellerker before looping round and returning to South Cave, with a couple of sharp climbs to add to the fun before the run is completed with a lap of the local playing field. Changeable weather this weekend made for perfect conditions for running, light winds brought a mix of showers and sunshine interspersed as the race progressed. Finishers were rewarded with a bespoke medal and a tee shirt. Sarah Rawlings finished the race in 56:24 closely followed by Briar Speight in 63:41. Well done Ladies!
