The North Run, now in its third year, has evolved from a mass scooter ride to the coast to a festival style event involving camping and entertainment at a new destination in the Yorkshire countryside.
Given the rising popularity of the event, the congestion in Scarborough, not to mention the hold-ups on the A64 to contend with, The North Run needed room to expand so we thought we’d try something a little bit different in 2011. So this year’s North Run will see riders head out on a whistle stop tour of West and South Yorkshire starting at the usual meeting place – Adrenalin Pedstop HQ in Carlton, Barnsley. A true North Run in every sense, proposed stop-off points include Barnsley, Rotherham, Sheffield, Doncaster, Pontefract, Castleford, Leeds and Wakefield before heading out to Ackworth near Pontefract where riders can relax and unwind in the open countryside. Proposed attractions include trophies for best custom scoots, a grass track kickstart style competition, a bucking bronco (so you can laugh at your mates), a DJ and a surprise spectacle to liven things up a bit…
Catering vans serving food and refreshments will be present on site as well as toilet facilities. A van will be provided for riders wanting to offload camping gear so as not to be too laden down during the ride. Riders may join The North Run at different meeting points during the rideout, full details of the route to follow. The event is free to attend and all riders are welcome, the more the merrier.
If you only go on one rideout this year, don’t miss out on this one!
The North Run 2011 starts at 9am on Saturday 23 July at Adrenalin Pedstop, Unit 1, Longfields Court, Middlewoods Way, Wharncliffe Business Park, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, S71 3HR
