enthusiasts; whatever your ability there is a warm welcome from the organisers, Wetherby Runners AC, with the support of Wetherby District Lions.The event is proud of its community base and attracts runners from local clubs from across the region as well as many unattached runners and joggers, together amounting to an entry of around 1000, who enjoy the friendly atmosphere. It's a season-opener for the runner looking forward to the autumn full or Half Marathons, a chance to check your pace maybe after a month off the speed work.  'Is it a PB course?' you ask. Well, maybe. There are just two short climbs over bridges linked by quiet lanes and tarmac paths through beautiful woodland. The course record stands at 31 mins 53 seconds by Darran Bilton in 2010 and the ladies record by Tracey Morris in 35 min 25 seconds in 2006. Also for all the family is the Mini Marathon, a 1.8 mile off road run which, like the 10k, starts and finished at Wetherby Race course. A welcome reward is a nice big tea mug. There are refreshments, ice creams and a Bouncy Castle. However, regardless of whether you are a club runner or a local jogger on the road to improving your fitness  ”The Wetherby Run” will bring with it rewards from the friendly atmosphere.
