Solstice Saunter 2027
The Solstice Saunter 2027 is a five mile fundraising run for Sue Ryder held at Bolton Abbey Estate in Skipton on the evening of the Summer Solstice. The event is organised by the Airedale Dodgers in support of Sue Ryder and is run in partnership with Bolton Abbey Estate and sponsored by Ecology Building Society.
The in-person event follows a circular five mile route that starts from the Cavendish Pavilion car park, goes clockwise through Strid Wood to Barden Bridge, and returns along the river bank to finish at Cavendish Pavilion. The surface is a mix of tarmac and gravel with a short section on grass. Every participant receives a Solstice Saunter medal. There is also a Virtual Solstice Saunter option in which participants run a five mile route of their choice on the longest day and receive a medal.
