Reeth and Arkengarthdale Moor

The DR20 is an exciting introduction to the DalesRunner Series, with testing ascents, spectacular ridge-running and fast technical descents. This is a fully marked route featuring rarely visited twists and turns, plus magnificent views of the northern Dales – a favourite with local runners. This isn’t your average trail race and it shouldn’t be underestimated just because of the modest distance!

4th July 2026
Muker

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. This route takes you on the Coast to Coast path to the tiny hamlet of Ravenseat before heading up and across some of the country’s remotest expanses of moorland to reach the Tan Hill Inn. A section of the Pennine Way takes you back down to Swaledale, with a stiff ascent of the spectacular Swinner Gill to follow. From there, the fast, flying descent on moorland tracks and the final dash to the finish line through Muker’s iconic Swaledale flower meadows make this a race not to be missed.

Quick Links: Registration | Course Info | Race Day

Location

Race HQ will be hosted by Usha Gap Campsite which will be a short walk from the start.
what3words: ///momentous.sour.sandwich

Course Summary

Distance: 31.7km / 19.7m (roughly)

Starting from the meadows north of the village of Muker, the course follows the valley known as Hartlakes north to Kisdon Force near the village of Keld. Here you cross the river by foot bridge before following the Coast to Coast route to Ravenseat where there is a water station. The route then crosses the moor, passing Robert’s Seat and Thomas Gill Hill to arrive at The Tan Hill Inn. At Tan Hill there will be an aid station.

From Tan Hill, the route follows the Pennine Way back to the water falls at Kisdon. Transferring back to the Coast to Coast route, the course passes by Crackpot Hall before climbing Swinner Gill to the final water station. A track takes you gently down Gunnerside Gill all the way to the village of Ivelet. Here the course rejoins the Pennine Way, along the banks of the River Swale and through the meadows before finishing near the Rampsholme footbridge.

Shoe Recommendation: Trail shoe, whilst predominantly on grass, there are a few sections of shooting track and even a stretch of tarmac.

Weather

We hope that July will bring us fabulous weather for running. Runners should make themselves aware of the position of the aid stations on the route when planning how much water to carry.

Likewise, runners should be prepared for quickly changing conditions that are typical of upland locations. At its highest points, the route is very exposed and usually breezy even on the best of days! Our kit list is there for a reason and we will be performing spot checks.

The Mountain Weather Information Service has a three day forecast available for the general area.

Semerwater and Wensleydale

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. Covering a markedly longer distance – requiring strategy, consistency and stamina – the course features good hard-packed trail (Roman Road) and less technical descending, but one steady climb runs to almost 12km!

Location

Semerwater, Raydale

what3words: ///relate.gently.drooling

Course Summary

Distance: 42km / 26.2m (roughly)

The race starts with a long hill running up towards Stalling Busk and then onto a cracking trail over the Stake. On the far side of the Stake, you drop down towards Cray with a minor diversion taking you round the foot of Buckden Pike and then on past the White Lion at Cray.

Here you contour round Slades and into the Langstrothdale valley with some cracking meadows to pass through until you pass Yockenthwaite and drop onto the Dales Way. Following the Dales Way will take you past Beckermonds, Oughtershaw, Nethergill and Swarthgill then you'll hit a great section through fell and field towards Cam Houses and the Cam High Road which you will stay on as you head back towards Semerwater.

Just before dropping back into Semerwater, you get taken on a detour round Drumaldrace and Weather fell offering great views over Hawes and then you approach the lake with a fast flowing descent for the finish.
