Around 2,500 will take part in the 10m and 2k on Sunday February 17 to help fund life-saving research into heart and circulatory disease.

A spokesman for organisers the British Heart Foundation said: “This extremely hilly route offers a challenging trail run with miles of muddy tracks, steep forest inclines and tree-lined fields, all set within the stunning grounds of Yorkshire’s historic Harewood House.

“New for 2019 is our 2K Family Fun Run - suitable for all ages and abilities.

It is hoped the event, which is now in its fifth year, will raise £120,000 for the BHF.”
