Helmsley Swim Run

This will be my first ever Swim Run event (I wanted to do the triathlon, but I left it too late and the spaces filled up). I am going on holiday later the same day, so my hopes is to get this wrapped up quick, and do my recovery run the next day in Greece!

800m Swim in Yorkshire’s only heated 25m Lido. Pool Temp 26-29C. 4 lanes – max 5 swimmers per lane, rolling start

10km Run – the Helmsley 10km multi-terrain route. Very popular with runners on Easter day since its inception 10 years ago. We head back into the heart of the Moors taking in super views above the valley of Riccaldale before heading back to Helmsley with its imposing castle

All proceeds from the event go to the charity run swimming pool. £200K was spent in 2019 renewing the pool tank, apron and surround. Our next task is to renew the 52 year old pool building so that it is fit for purpose for the 21st Century.
