Dalesrunner 40

The DalesRunner 40 is a challenging 42km trail race held in Semerwater and Wensleydale, North Yorkshire, serving as the final and longest event in the DalesRunner series. The course features over 3,000 feet of ascent, including a steady climb of nearly 12km, and traverses a mix of hard-packed trails, Roman roads, grassy trods, and some road sections. Runners experience scenic views over Buckden Pike, the Dales Way along the River Wharfe, and a detour around Weather Fell before a fast descent to the finish by Semerwater lake.

The event offers well-stocked aid stations, mandatory safety kit, and a friendly atmosphere with supportive marshals. An ultra option extends the distance to about 30 miles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
