Dalesrunner 20

Overview

DalesRunner 20 is a trail race in Reeth, North Yorkshire, based at Low Fremington Village Hall. The course is listed at roughly 18–20 km and is very hilly, mostly on single track. It includes a very steep first ascent, ridge running, and technical descents that pass through mining hushes with loose rocks. Surfaces include grassy trods and hard packed footpaths. The route is fully marked with orange tape and pin flags, and critical turns and road crossings will be manned by marshals.
