Event Description

The Great Yorkshire Pieathlon, the hungriest race in Yorkshire.

6km (approx)

220m ascent

3 pie stations

The route is mainly off road, It is a 6km (ish) route, with two pie stations on the way round. There will be one savory pie station (no there will not be peas, beans, gravy, mint sauce, ketchup, pickle or cheese...but feel free to bring your own) and one sweet pie station (no custard, cream, jelly, brandy sauce....) and at the ﬁnish there will again be PIE. How pielicious is that?

The Event Centre is an absolute treasure at the Edge Cafe in Longwood (HD3 4XN). Here you will register and drop oﬀ any bags and the start line is just outside. Any supporters can stay for pie and peas or a big breakfast and of course some cake. The cafe is child and dog friendly, has magniﬁcent views across the Colne Valley and you will just love it.

Registration opens from 9am - 10.15am, so don’t be late!

Parking is a bit limited at the event centre, please follow the pie marshals and park just one side of Longwood Edge Road, making sure there is access as you will be running on this road later. There is extra parking on the residential roads, but please park considerately other wise the pieman will be cross...and you don’t want that to happen

The Charity we will be eating pies and running for is the fabulous Laura Crane Trust. All proﬁts from the pieathlon will be going to help them. There will be donation boxes at the event centre, dig deep and help out the great charity. Find out more about them by visiting http://www.lauracranetrust.org/home.aspx

The Start is just outside the event centre at 10.30am, don’t be late or all the pies will be gone.The ﬁnish is back at the event centre, here you can collect more pie, your goody bag and your pietastice tech tee shirt.
