It is a perfect PB course and the men’s course record stands at 31min 2sec by Bradford-Airedale’s Tesfaye Debele. Starting and finishing at Bradford’s City Hall, it goes out via the historic Little Germany district before a flat run along Canal Road out to Shipley and back. Airedale Athletics clubs provide forty marshals to cheer on the 1000-plus runners.
