Cannot believe it was almost a week ago! We wanted to say a huge thank you to our BeckBuster 2025 sponsors, without their support and assistance we really couldn't put on an event like BeckBusters!

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us yesterday.

It is fair to say at 6.15am, we thought we wouldn't be able to give you a 10km race at all. A bit of planning (shouted across a large expanse of water as we couldn't actually get to each other). A huge rescue operation to collect up the markers and a lot of km's run by a very special team and we managed to pull off something which looked impossible at one point.

I won't lie we were incredibly emotional when we finally set you off on the course and all your feedback has been amazing. Thank you for all your kind words, it meant so much to the whole team.

If you are in the area over the next few weeks please do go run our usual route and appreciate the beautifully manicured course and cut back trees and hedges and if anyone finds our 4km marker (which was under a lot of water) please can you let us know.

Many thanks again and we hope to see you soon

Vic and the committee

Today is the day. Beck Busters is here. We are looking forward to seeing you at the start line. The rain has stopped and the sun is shining. That said, due to yesterday’s heavy rainfall, we have made some changes to the 10km to avoid the River Ure. These changes will be clearly communicated at the runners’ race briefing. We still guarantee a wonderful race with plenty of marshal support, scenery and good vibes.

If you are driving to Bishop Monkton, we would encourage you to come in from A61 or Knaresborough Road as opposed to coming via Roecliffe. The road is currently passable but we encourage access via the other routes. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you.

Please note the route for the children's race remains unchanged.

Hi all,

Well what can we say other than it's raining 😃! Which has made for an interesting set up!!! But we wanted to say BeckBusters 2025 is ON!

We have been monitoring the weather forecast and the river levels and we are delighted that the rain is forecasted to stop in the early hours with tomorrow predicted to be dry with even a bit of sunshine due to make an appearance. We had added extra marshals on the river and have some pumps going at the moment to remove some of the surface water on the roads.

The course was looking great yesterday and with the grass having been cut we hope it will still prove to be a great route. We will be out on the course early tomorrow morning but would suggest that you may want to consider a running shoe with a good grip (no spikes as half the course is on roads and tracks).

The bakers have been doing a fab job and the bbq will be lit for bacon sandwiches tomorrow. Please do check out our raffle we have some amazing prizes including afternoon tea for 2 at Swinton Park, a Swinton Park half day cookery course, Betty's hamper, gym king vouchers to name a few.

Please do try to bring cash if you can as our card machines struggle for reception.

Its going to be a great day and we can't wait to see you all 🥰

Less than two days to go until BeckBusters 2025! and the weather forecast is looking distinctly brighter than it was a few days ago!! Please note emails have been sent today with all the race details (apologies to all 10km runners who also received the 2km email . . . admin probably needs a lie down!!)

We have run the course today, it has held up well in the recent rain and we currently have no standing water on the course (although we are ignoring tomorrow's weather forecast😬). We get lots of questions about which trainers to wear, at the moment a normal running shoe would be perfectly fine on the course.

There is still time to enter, online entries close at 2pm tomorrow, however we will be allowing entries on the day subject to a £2 surcharge.
