Grimsthorpe Gallop back for it’s 3rd year! Join us on this beautiful trail run…

Set in the beautiful grounds of Grimsthorpe Castle, in the delightfully charming Lincolnshire countryside just 10mins off the A1. This event makes for a perfect summer race, whether you take on the family friendly 5k or go for the longer challenges of  10k, 10miles or 13.1 miles.

The 4 routes take you past various delights within the private grounds including the castle, lake, tree lined tarmac avenues, ancient woodland along grassed paths and a victorian railway culvet. The train line no longer exists, but the 10 and 13.1 mile routes travel along this section and take you to a part of the world generally unseen by the public.

The race start/finish line will be in front of the castle along the driveway, offering a unique venue. We will have the usual friendly event atmosphere that we bring to all of our races, & amazing bling – making this perfect for your 1st, 2nd or 100th race!

Like our other races we hope you’ll come as a family and take the opportunity to enter the ‘little legs’ into the 5k race. A simple, not too challenging distance that we invite ages of 4+ along to. Plus ALL finishers receive a bespoke race medal!

Please note elevation on the route maps – you start up at the Castle & run downhill towards the lake – there are several undulations (hills) on the course with outstanding views.

Due to the incresaed temperatures the past 2 years we have decided to have an earlier start time! Feel free to bring a picninc & enjoy the park after your race.

We welcome Canicross and British Nordic Walking to this event. For the doggies, water stations will be provided to dogs regularly (every mile) out on course & at Race Village. We recommend your dog wears a running harness & is used to running with you. Remember they need to train too! Don’t expect your dog to run a distance just because you can! Please clean up after your dog & keep your dog on a lead at all times as this is a farming area. Please book on using Canicross category. Canicross & BNW races are not under UKA rules & do not offer EA affilliated discount. Canicross entries & BNW entries are open up to 10 miles due to time allowances on the course & increased temperatures for the dogs. Canicross start times will be earlier than the first race start to protect the dogs from the heat.

Our chosen charity – Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance are kindly assisting with the baggage drop this year. We are politely asking for a minimum donation of £1.
