"BRITAIN'S TASTIEST 10K"
Sunday 30 August 2020
Inspired by the Marathon Du Medoc in France's wine region, this gourmet food and wineathlon goes through an area of Yorkshire famous for its award-winning local produce and beautiful countryside.
Starting and finishing in Malton's pretty market place, there will be plenty of food and drink stops around the beautiful 10k course. Runners are encouraged to take their time, pace themselves and enjoy the party atmosphere, fancy dress and gourmet food stops.
FANCY DRESS THEME: FOOD & DRINK
On offer will be local specialties like award-winning craft beer, mini lobster brioche buns, roast grouse, artisan gin, mini Yorkshire puddings with roast beef, wine from the Medoc and even macarons from the UK pastry champion!
The race starts and finishes in the Market Place of Malton where a party atmosphere will be created with runners and families in optional fancy dress.
The whole concept is designed to create a fun team atmosphere - one long party. A celebration of the best Yorkshire food and drink, a bit of healthy exercise and a great way to see the countryside!
