About the race
The Dentdale Run is a road race held in Dent in the Yorkshire Dales offering two course choices and organised from the village school.
Distances available:
- 14.2 mile traditional loop course
- 10 km new loop course
Both courses run on narrow lanes through Dentdale and pass through the cobbled centre of Dent village. The routes are single-lap loops that include approximately 150 m of footpath across a footbridge and pasture land. Both courses have hilly profiles and distance markers: mile markers and a half marathon mark on the traditional course, and kilometre markers on the 10 km.
The event is chip timed and results are shown on a large screen inside Dent C of E Primary School after finishing. Facilities at the race headquarters include toilets, changing facilities, showers, baggage storage, water, and distance markers. Free car parking is available in the village. Organisers provide tea, coffee, sandwiches and cakes for finishers, and trophies and prizes are awarded for both distances. The race is organised primarily as a fundraiser for the village primary school, with all profits directed to the school.
Entry details include fees of £21 to £23, age minimums for each distance, an overall entry limit of 750, and a note that the course is not suitable for wheelchairs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
