Knaresborough renewable energy company, Harmony Energy, is powering this summer’s Harrogate 10K run.
Being held on Sunday, July 2, and organised by Harrogate Harriers, this the second year running that Harmony Energy, which last November energized Europe’s largest Battery Energy Storage System, has sponsored the event.
After the success of the inaugural event in 2022, the 10K race will again be preceded by a Fun Run for those in school years 2-9. This will be entry on the day only, with all proceeds from it being donated to charity.
Set on an undulating, multi-terrain course in the beautiful Crimple Valley, the 10K race is suitable for all levels, with the Start/Finish line being located on the approach road in front of Harrogate Sports and Fitness Club, off Hookstone Road.
Peter Kavanagh, Harmony Energy CEO – who along with five other Harmony employees ran last year’s 10K, said: “We are delighted to once again be partnering with Harrogate Harriers to sponsor this year’s Harrogate 10K.
“I was approached last year by one of the committee, who lives near me, asking if we would consider sponsoring the Harrogate 10K. I’ve always enjoyed running and health benefits it brings so I welcomed the opportunity to support the event.
“Harmony Energy already sponsors the Brownlee Foundation, which sees thousands of children taking part in triathlons, and it is great being able to support another sporting event involving children and adults on our doorstep.
Rachel Gregson, Harrogate Harriers’ Communications Officer, said: “Once again we are indebted to Harmony Energy for sponsoring the Harrogate 10k.
“Their funding allows us to not only stage the event, but to ensure it is properly marshalled, with First Aiders and the necessary insurance in place.
“Last year nearly 500 runners took part in the event, and this year with Covid fading into the distance we hope it will attract many more. It’s a really good course, takes in some beautiful scenery and is suitable for runners of all ages and abilities.”
