Other events

The Yorkshire Dales offers a wide range of different races, from the short and fast races at Burnsall and Kilnsey Shows to the longer classic events like the Three Peaks Race. Equally, many challenge events are held in the Dales each year, often raising money for charities, such as mountain rescue teams, allowing them to continue their superb work.

For details of other races and events, visit the following websites: FRA (www.fellrunner.org.uk), BOFRA (www.bofra.org.uk), the Trail Running Association (TRA) (www.tra-uk.org) or YDNP (www.yorkshiredales.org.uk).

Running clubs

The Dales offers many well-attended running clubs. Most of the larger towns have a club that trains on the fells, and they are always open to new members and visitors. For further details visit www.fellrunner.org.uk.

Equipment

Running, at its heart, is about a pair of trainers, a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. This simplicity is what many runners crave and partly why many of us choose to run.
