York Knavesmire Harriers Brass Monkey Half marathon - Brass Monkey Half Marathon

The Brass Monkey Half Marathon, hosted by York Knavesmire Harriers on January 14, 2018, is a well-established road race held in the historic city of York, North Yorkshire. Now a popular fixture on the winter running calendar, this event has a history of attracting a strong field of runners seeking a challenging yet rewarding half marathon experience. Participants can expect a friendly atmosphere and efficient organization characteristic of this established race. The typical terrain for the Brass Monkey Half Marathon is predominantly flat, making it a potentially fast course for experienced runners. The route generally winds through the picturesque countryside surrounding York, offering scenic views. However, as a January event, runners should be prepared for winter conditions; this can include cold temperatures, potentially windy stretches, and the possibility of damp or icy patches on the road. Despite these challenges, the relatively flat profile and the allure of a post-race medal and festive atmosphere make the Brass Monkey a sought-after event for many.
