Scarborough Running Events

Well established on the local running calendar, this Easter dash offers a running event for all the family, plus Easter eggs and other seasonal goodies and a medal for all finishers.

The race uses the footpaths and trails within the grounds of Sewerby Hall as well as on the cliff top. Two-for-one vouchers for admission to Sewerby Hall will be mailed to all entrants and will be available on the day to collect. The race will also be looking to make a donation to a local charity.

Please note the course is unsuitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs as some of the course is on grass and woodland trails.

The event includes a short children's race and an Adults Fun Run.

With the old English name of Elmeslac, Helmsley predates the Domesday Book. It was first settled in around 3,000 BC and small farming communities lived in the town throughout the Neolithic period, Bronze and Iron Ages and into Roman times. The lands around Helmsley were held by William the Conquerors brother. You can still visit the ruins of the Norman castle, and see ancient oak trees in Duncombe Park dating from this time.

The oldest surviving house in Helmsley is the medieval Canons Garth, the vicarage. The Norman castle, dating back over 900 years, evolved over the centuries, from a mighty medieval fortress to a luxurious Tudor mansion, to a Civil War stronghold and a romantic Victorian ruin. It is open all year round for visitors to enjoy, under the care of English Heritage. The Walled Gardens also enjoy a historic past, tracing their roots back to 1759.

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.

This 55 mile race will take competitors through the North York Moors and the Cleveland Hills in quite possibly Winter conditions. Do not underestimate this race!! The race contains over 2700m of ascent and has a time limit of 16 hours. Start and registration will be at Helmsley Sports & Social Club.

The Castle Howard event in July promises to be a memorable run on the southern border of the North York Moors. The rapturous reception afforded to previous Castle Howard Triathlons has led to this weekend event to be known as the sporting event of the North! The spectacular run course takes runners through the undulating Howardian Hills and boasts a finish that tops everything off in style right in front of the main doors of the house.

A lovely scenic, traffic free out and back route, from Hornsea, through to Hull and back along the Transpennine Trail.
