Event Description
The Ben Campbell 5k & 10k Trail Run
April 12th 2015 10am – 12:30pm
Around Sutton Bank’s White Horse, Kilburn Woods and Hood Hill.
This race has been organised as a non profit charity event, celebrating the life of Ben Campbell and supporting a charity to help children and young people get into sport.
Ben Campbell, a friend of ours, who grew up in Thirsk, tragically died at the age of 36 in Jan of this year, very unexpectedly, from pneumococcal pneumonia.
Ben lived in Knaresborough in his later years with his partner Helen and young twin boys. He was an avid mountain biker, runner (for Knaresborough Striders) and obstacle racer – he did incredibly well in the Spartan Series last year and also won the Pain Barrier race in November last year – and this is how we know him best, through training for, and competing in, the obstacle races with him.
To celebrate his life we have organised a 5k and 10k trail run at Kilburn woods. We have permission and the blessing from the family to name the event after him and we are hoping it will become an annual occasion.
Ben loved a challenge and it is for this reason that this idyllic location has been chosen. Not only does it it encompass the true beauty of the North Yorkshire countryside but the terrain itself is a challenge to run on, we are sure you will truly enjoy it.
The course fully way marked and marshalled, both hilly and muddy in places with breathtaking scenery. It presents itself to both seasoned and beginner runners aged 18 years or over with 5K and 10K races starting 15 minutes apart.
There are a limited number of entries available as it’s the first event to be held here, 100 for the 5K and 100 for the 10K.
Medals will be awarded for the first 3 Males and first 3 Females to complete each race as well as a trophy for the out right winner of each race.
