A Wondrous Spectacle
The Great Knaresborough Bed Race is something different: it is part fancy dress pageant and part gruelling time trial over a 2.4-mile course, ending with a swim through the icy waters of the River Nidd.
First staged in 1966, Bed Race has spawned other similar events in the USA, Germany, New Zealand and elsewhere in the UK. It is great fun, an amazing spectacle and, being held in Yorkshire, a truly serious competitive effort, pitting teams against their fiercest rivals, their erstwhile friends or even against themselves. Whatever happens, it is never good enough and each vows to be back to do better next year!

After the success of our team of runners in the Great North Run 2025, we are once again looking for runners to pull on a yellow Community Foundation vest (or t-shirt) and take up the challenge.
The Great North Run sees over 60,000 incredible people take their place on the start line in Newcastle upon
Tyne and travel 13.1 miles towards the beautiful coastline of South Shields.
If it’s a Geordie welcome you’re looking for then be prepared for the goosebumps as you hear the roar of
thousands of supporters cheering your name, all the way from start to finish.
The Great North Run is a run for everyone, of all ages and abilities, whether it’s your first event or your
50th. It’s an inclusive festival of running, with music blazing, crowds buzzing, legs pumping and fists
bumping. There’s nothing quite like it!
