beForm Nutrition continued its commitment to the Leeds running community by sponsoring the renowned Chevin Chase, the popular Boxing Day race that saw approximately 2000 runners tackle a challenging 7-mile course from Guiseley to Otley Chevin and back.
The annual Chevin Chase has become a beloved tradition for runners across Yorkshire, combining festive spirit with serious athletic challenge.
This year's event saw competitors navigate a demanding mix of road and trail terrain under crisp, sunny winter conditions, with elite runners posting impressive times in the low 30-minute range.
Supporting Local Runners with Premium Hydration
As a key sponsor, beForm Nutrition set up an on-site presence to support participants with free samples of their best-selling beHydrate performance drink.
The hydration formula, specially developed with electrolytes and vitamin C, proved popular among runners looking to optimise their recovery after the gruelling climb to the Chevin summit.
"The Chevin Chase represents everything we love about running – community, challenge, and celebration," said founder Ben. "We're proud to fuel local athletes and support events that bring the Leeds running scene together."
A Festive Challenge for All Abilities
True to Boxing Day tradition, many participants embraced the festive atmosphere by completing the course in fancy dress, adding colour and entertainment to the competitive field.
Despite the cold December temperatures, bright sunshine provided ideal conditions for the mix of seasoned athletes and recreational runners who turned out for the event.
The 7-mile route from Guiseley presents a genuine test of fitness and determination, with the ascent to Otley Chevin demanding both physical stamina and mental resilience.
The combination of road and trail sections requires versatile running skills, making it a favourite among Yorkshire's running community.

beForm Nutrition has established itself as an active supporter of grassroots running in Leeds and the surrounding areas.
