Scarborough Running Events

Wholly located within the National Park, and utilising sections of the Cleveland Way, this area is superbly suited to trail running. The course is rich and varied with reminders to Yorkshire's fine heritage all around - from the dry stone walls and disused railway lines, to the hardy sheep flocks up on the moors. The world famous Whitby Abbey is just a few miles up the road, so there is plenty to make a weekend long visit well worthwhile.

Two events which both take place in the beautiful North York Moors amongst some of the most stunning scenery in the UK. Each race is well marked and marshalled so no navigational skills are needed, so whether you're new to trail running, a budding athlete, or simply looking for an unforgettable day out in the North York Moors, a family-friendly atmosphere and some beautiful trail running awaits you. Both races start from the The Moors National Park Centre, Danby.

Bridlington Half Marathon was first held in 1983 and still attracts a large field of runners from far and wide. The race was originally staged by the local football team, but for many years has been organised by members of Bridlington Road Runners for the enjoyment of runners throughout the region.

The course starts on the sea-front then heads off out into the countryside via Sewerby, Flamborough and Bempton before returning to Bridlington. One more loop out to Sewerby, passing through Sewerby Hall grounds this time, before returning to Bridlington and the sea-front finish.

In remembrance of our soldiers in the 1st & 2nd World Wars and subsequent wars & conflicts. A beautiful run on Tarmac & hard trails, in association with Pickering Running Club. This years Dalby Dash again represents great value - all entry fees go to organising the race and raising money for our charities - Help for Heroes and Pickering Rotarians (who donate their share to North Yorkshire charities).

The race starts outside the beautiful Visitor's Centre and you run up a firm Tarmac road (Housedale) to the top of the only hill in the race (a steady slope!) - First man and woman to the top gets a special prize. Then along the top of the rigg on gravel trails and a long and speedy decent down to the beck. Then a 'DASH' to the finish line back at Low Dalby.

From Low Dalby Visitor Centre, the first 2 miles of this 10k are a steady uphill climb on a private tarmac road. First runners to the summit get the King and Queen of the Hill prize! The surface continues as a compacted stone trail (uneven!), the track turns right and begins a fast and furious descent down Sand Dale and Heck Dale. At the bottom, a right turn takes you along Dalby Beck and down the trail back to Low Dalby and the finish. Date tbc.

The Hardmoors 26.2 Trail Marathon Series comprises 6 beautiful and challenging trail marathons, half-marathons and 10ks based in various different locations around the North York Moors.
