From guided trail running at sociable paces to competitive series races.
We’ll mark the route, but the journey is yours to travel.
The DalesRunner Series
DalesRunner 20km
The DR20 is an exciting introduction to the DalesRunner Series, with testing ascents, spectacular ridge-running and fast technical descents.
DalesRunner 30km
Ascending almost 3,000ft from Swaledale up to the Tan Hill Inn (Great Britain’s highest pub), it’s never going to be an easy race.
DalesRunner 40km
The DR40 is the final and longest race of the series. Run over less technical terrain than the first two races in the series, but with over 3,000ft of ascent, this is still a challenging event.
The Shorter Ones
Fremington Frenzy
The Frenzy is a shorter introduction to the DalesRunner race stable than the DR20, you still get spectacular ascents, interesting descents and views down Swaledale but you get to skip the extra hill we have in the 20km route.
Swinner Swagger
Take on the second half of our DR30 route and experience the beautiful Hartlakes, Swinner Gill and the fast, flowing descent along Gunnerside Gill.
Semerwater Stomp
The Stomp is the spectacular finale to the series, starting and finishing in the heart of Raydale. With fords, hills and fell there’s fun to be had for everyone!
Meet The Team
Jess and Simon created DalesRunner to revive a much loved trail series in the Yorkshire Dales and hope to expand our race offerings over time. As runners ourselves we like to think we know what's important and we are concentrating on bringing you fabulous routes on which you will be well looked after.
