“The run starts and finishes in Ripley, which is situated three miles from Harrogate on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park,” said a Rotary spokesman.

“Ripley Castle is an historic attraction open to the public all year round and makes for a fascinating and entertaining day out.

“The house and grounds are set in a beautiful location that provides a magnificent backdrop to the Nidderdale Run.”

Among its many current enterprises the Rotary Club of Harrogate is the organiser of the highly successful Nidderdale Charity Walks which have raised over £800,000 for local charities over the 24 years it has been going.
