The most amazing walk, jog,run safari! Voted the number one 5k event in the UK 2018 at the national running awards :) The main 5k event is suitable for everyone aged 11 and over plus we have a junior fun run on the day for ages 4 and over (simply add on a fun runner to your entry, this is around 1km in distance... great fun and the fun run entry also includes entry into the park for the day!) 2017 and 2018 Spring events sold out months ahead of the event day so don't miss out! Working with the Yorkshire Wildlife Park team our aim's are simple, have a great fun filled event, contribute to the health and well-being of the community, raise sponsorship and awareness for the Yorkshire Wildlife Park Foundation. So if you're feeling inspired to take part then read on and don't forget you can support the Yorkshire Wildlife Park Foundation by raising sponsorship, buying a bespoke designed t-shirt (which are always awesome!) or simply making a direct donation. Entry price is just £22 and includes a very special medal, post race cake & water plus it allows you to access the great surrounds of the wildlife park for the rest of the day. You can even pop home, get a shower and come back later (but make sure you keep your wrist band on!) With 3.5k of the event taking place on the safari route you'll see plenty of animals on your way round. The route has been planned in conjunction with the needs of the wildlife so some animals we wont be running past but you can pop and say hello to them after the run. With the park growing and new animals arriving the course may change but it's only going to get better! If you would like to bring along spectators then you can add up to 3 online plus spectator passes are available to buy on event weekend. Until 10:00 spectators have restricted access to the grounds staying off the running course during the event but can see the runners at several key locations, after the event they have full access to the park for the rest of the day. This is offered at a discounted rate. Annual pass holders can attend as a spectator for free as usual but if they wish to run in the event then the price is the same for everyone.

Roche Abbey is nestled away in South Yorkshire near the picturesque village of Maltby. The races will start and finish within the grounds of the glorious Roche Abbey and will encompass trail and track running through Lord Scarborough’s land, which originally formed part of Sherwood Forest. Roche Abbey was founded in the 12th century by Cistercian monks; it was once home to 50 monks and 20 lay brothers. It is beautifully set in a valley landscaped by Capability Brown. The ruins of Roche Abbey are now the centre piece of the beautifully designed landscape. Apparently Roche Abbey is a paranormal hotspot with lots of scary activity. The Abbey house which is only 240 years old, which now houses the Abbey shop as many tales surrounding it. One tale is of a Lady in Grey who can be seen looking out of the upstairs window where the sound of a wailing child can also be heard. Towards the end of the Abbey there lies a small stone coffin and it is said if one stares at it long enough, a face will appear….. Yikes! So come running with us for miles with smiles and enjoy the hidden away treasures in this lesser known part of the world. ‘So ave thissen a day awt, if tha’s brave enuf’ Sunday 14th October 2018 09:30 am – 12:00 pm See more details SYCAA Cross Country #1 - Clifton Park, Rotherham SYCAA Cross Country #1 - Clifton Park, Rotherham October 14, 2018 S65 2AA See more details Birmingham Marathon Birmingham Marathon October 14, 2018 http://www.greatrun.org/birmingham-international-marathon See more details Manchester Half Marathon Manchester Half Marathon October 14, 2018 http://www.manchesterhalfmarathon.com/home/ See more details • • • • • • •

Full session is 18:20 Dynamic Warm up (optional but advisable) 18:45 we have an easy one mile run across to the HRSC, first runner goes off about 19:00 and we should all be done by about 19:30. From there it's an easy mile on the way back and finish off with a nice cool down about 19:45 for those that wish to partake (jog one lap of car park and static stretches) In preparation for the TT, please deduct your expected time in full minutes from 30 and that will give you your group number. For example, runner A expects to do 27 mins so they would be in the 3 minute group, runner B expects to do 24 mins so they would be in the 6 minute group, and so on. If you expect to do 30 minutes or more then you start at 0 minutes. Note these are self times so bring a suitable timing device.

I’ve been running (slowly) for a few years now and for a long time thought about joining a running club but never had the confidence to do so. Back in January a friend recommended the Harriers to me and I can honestly say it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. I may never be the fastest nor the furthest runner, but the group encourages and supports me to be the best I can be – every week. Everyone is welcoming and friendly, offering great tips and advice. Training sessions are varied and offer lots of different routes and types of training. There is a strong team spirit amoungst the Harriers and I’m proud to be a part of it. I can’t recommend them enough. (Nicola)

I have always seen lots of Danum Harriers vests at my local Parkrun and always thought I would like to join a group like that but it would be too selective. How wrong was I!! From the 1st interaction everyone has been friendly, helpful and most importantly for me, welcoming. I attended 2 sessions and then joined immediately after as I was so impressed, people actually remembered my name and took time to speak to me. I am a shy person, so this meant a lot! I am looking forward to lots more runs and events and wearing my vest with pride and want to thank everyone for making it a great thing to be a part of. (Michael)

A couple of years ago I started running to try to get fitter and lose some weight, and was really pleased with my progress, but plodding the pavements alone got a little soul destroying after a while so I felt I needed some focus to keep going. After a difficult time in my personal life I took the advice of some fellow parkrunners and gave Danum Harriers a try. Having sampled other running clubs, I knew from the first session that the Harriers were the club for me. On arrival I was greeted in a friendly and helpful manner and introduced to everyone as they arrived for that evening’s run. The atmosphere was fun and friendly, smiles all around and I knew already this was the club for me. They’re not bad at the running bit too, since joining the club my times have plummeted and my fitness and confidence have improved significantly, I couldn’t be prouder to wear the blue and yellow club colours every time I race in them.
