About the race
Its Grim Up North Running presents the Skipton Sweetie Skedaddle in Skipton, starting near Aireville Park and finishing in town. The flat, towpath course runs along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and offers distances from 5k to Ultra. Depending on distance, the route is out-and-back or laps, with marshalled and signed sections and feed stations every three miles.
Entrants receive a bespoke finisher’s medal and sweets or cake at the end. The event is cup-less, encourages reusable drinkware, and provides downloadable GPX routes. A 6.5-hour cut-off applies; parking and rail access are convenient for competitors.
The atmosphere is friendly and supportive. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
