A group of runners from York and Liverpool started the January Challenge by running and or walking just past midnight on New Year's day.

Surface conditions were icy, hence some of us decided to change their route, or make it shorter.

Debs and Michal ran 6k around Clifton Ings , where they met Max and Helen on their 4.5k long midnight walk to the Ings ice rink.

Ben did an over 5k run around the Leeman Road area.

Nicola and Richard went for a short run around the block.

Vicky did a short walk around the block.

Meanwhile Leanne succesfully created "HNY" Strava art while on her 5.5k long run.

Jo from Liverpool did a 1km Hill session in her back garden as it was too icy to venture on to the roads.

Tim ran around Stanley and Newsham parks in Liverpool clocking serious 12k.

Pauline walked/jogged for 3.5m around Runcorn area in Liverpool.

There were few other Yorkies out last night clocking KMs towarts the Challenge.

Well done everyone!
