Guy Fawkes 10 2025 returns on November 2, 2025, as one of Yorkshire’s most celebrated autumn road races. Organized by Nidd Valley Road Runners, the race features a 10-mile loop through scenic villages and moorland around Pateley Bridge, with over 360 m of elevation gain and famously steep sections nicknamed “Birstwith Brute,” “Swincliffe Swine,” “For Fawkes Sake,” and “Hollybank Hell.” The course combines rural charm with leg-burning climbs and sweeping descents, culminating in a fast downhill into Bewerley before a final kicker back to the finish. Runners benefit from two well-placed water stations, on-course medical support, and post-race refreshments. With a strict 2:10 cut-off time, the race attracts both competitive club runners and local enthusiasts looking for a spirited, challenging 10-miler.
