Knaresborough Summer Saunter
The Knaresborough Summer Saunter is a trail running event based at the start of the Beryl Burton Cycleway in the park, not at Mother Shiptons Cave, Knaresborough. The event offers multiple race distances run on a looped trail course.
Distances
- 10k (ish)
- Half Marathon
- 20 Miler
- Full Marathon
The route is based on a 6.5 mile trail loop. Runners complete a set number of laps according to their chosen distance. The course climbs gently through parkland and follows an old railway track between Knaresborough and Harrogate, providing countryside views and elements of historic Yorkshire character. The course is fully marshalled and clearly signed.
Support and facilities include feed stations approximately every 3 miles supplying water, snacks, and fuel, bespoke finisher medals and post race treats for finishers, and public toilets in the nearby car park. Parking is in a public pay and display car park a short walk from registration. Registration opens in the morning and participants are advised to allow time to park and use facilities.
Additional notes: the event is cup less so runners should bring their own reusable cup or bottle. Large over ear headphones are not permitted; bone conduction or one in one out in ear headphones are allowed with care at unmanned road crossings. Transfers and deferrals are managed online and marshals should be notified if a runner needs to retire. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
