Knaresborough Soft Shoe Shuffle

The Knaresborough Soft Shoe Shuffle is a multi-distance running event held in and around Knaresborough, North Yorkshire. The event offers a range of distances on a looped route based on a 6.5-mile trail course; runners complete a set number of laps according to their chosen distance. The route starts at the Beryl Burton Cycleway in the park and runs along parkland and a converted railway track between Knaresborough and Harrogate. The event information clarifies that it does not start, finish, or register at Mother Shipton's Cave and that maps with parking and route details are provided to entrants before the event.

Facilities and race services include feed stations approximately every 3 miles supplying water, snacks, and fuel, public toilets in the nearby car park, post-race finisher items, and on-course marshals. The organiser notes the event operates as a cup-less event to reduce waste; runners are asked to use reusable cups or bottles. Road shoes are advisable for the surfaces encountered. The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association. Entry fees vary by distance with published prices between £25.00 and £56.00.
