About

Discover the Grand Olde Route of York

Experience a brilliant trail running adventure at the Grand Olde Route of York, taking you through the beautiful woodland of Escrick Estate and the untamed surroundings of Skipwith Common National Nature Reserve.

With a choice of Half Marathon (21k) or 10k, this event combines wide gravel tracks, firm trails and a largely flat profile, offering a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the freedom of off-road running.

Run beneath the Giants

Venture into the heart of Escrick Estate, where impressive Redwood trees tower above the woodland trails. With long, flowing paths and minimal elevation, the route is ideal for runners looking to find their rhythm, stretch their legs and enjoy a fast-paced trail experience.

Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply soaking up the scenery, you'll find plenty to love about these wonderfully runnable trails.

Explore the wild side

As the course reaches Skipwith Common, the scenery opens out into a unique landscape of heathland and woodland, rich in wildlife and natural beauty.

Look out for the resident Longhorn cattle grazing freely across the Common as part of its conservation management, along with the possibility of spotting deer and other wildlife along the way.

This remarkable landscape also has a fascinating past. Shaped by human activity over thousands of years, the Common once accommodated a Second World War RAF airfield, with remnants of its history still visible across the area today.

Choose your challenge: 21k or 10k

Whether you fancy taking on the Half Marathon or tackling the 10k, there's a distance to suit your next trail running adventure.

Expect a refreshing mix of woodland scenery, open heathland and smooth, flowing trails in one of Yorkshire's most distinctive natural settings.
