These 3 races are aimed at all levels of runners. From those new to trail running, those wanting to increase distance and those more experienced runners who are looking to test themselves over a new course.  Due North are keen to promote events which are inclusive, therefore we think that these 3 courses, although technical in parts and include some challenging terrain and ascents, we have made them accessible to all by fully way marking the route and giving generous cut-offs.  This way the experienced runner can take on the course, mentally and physically pushing themselves across the mud, steep climbs and tricky descents whilst the less experienced, or ‘leisurely runner’ can relax and take in the stunning scenery and enjoy the experience of running in this beautiful part of the country.

Prizes will be given to 1st 2nd and 3rd Male & Female and also age categories, V40, V50 and V60 Male and Female. Prizes will be provided by our race sponsor Mountain Fuel as well as other race supporters.

What’s included:

• Every runner will receive a FREE gift bag with Due North merchandise, discount vouchers for Sportsshoes.com and a few more treats.
• Each runner will also get food and drink at the finish included in the entry cost.

Food & Drink:

• Tea/Coffee/soft drinks will be available to buy before the race at a small cost for runners and spectators.  Water stops will be allocated along the route with various refreshments. Please have a bottle or cup to use as we are aiming to be more environmentally friendly.

Kit requirements:

• Each race will have minimum kit requirement of a fully waterproof jacket with a hood, a map of the route, bottle/cup for drinks stations.
• Runners will be asked at registration to confirm that they have the minimum kit and random kit checks may be carried out.
• We also advise that runners take a mobile phone, hat & gloves as the weather in the Yorkshire Dales is changeable we therefore also recommend sun cream on a sunny day.

No dogs are permitted to join you on the race due to crossing farmland.

Spectators are welcome and in each race description we have detailed the best viewing points. The Burnsall Half Marathon Start/Finish venue and the Skirefare Half Marathon Start/Finish Venue are perfect for bringing the family. Beautiful riverside locations, ideal for picnics and plenty of room for games whilst waiting for the finishers. Spectators will also be able to buy food from our on-site caterers.
