About the trail

Our Coast to Coast trail running holidays do what they say on the tin: they offer the opportunity to cross the breadth of England on foot, from one coast to the other. You'll triumph over a slew of challenging trails through the Lake District, the fell-running capital of England, before taking off across the Yorkshire Dales, Pennines and the wilderness of the North York Moors.

This year, this famous trail is at long last on its way to recognition as a National Trail. The work is still in progress, to be completed in 2025, but anyone running the Coast to Coast will notice brand new waymarkers going in, complete with the National Trail acorn. It’s an exciting time for one of the UK’s best-loved routes!

Coast to Coast Run - East Section

From the old market town of Kirkby Stephen, the eastern leg of our Coast to Coast trail running holiday skips the harsh climbs of the Lake District in favour of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors. But this run still isn’t flat — far from it. Summit Hartley Fell to Nine Standards Rigg, host to incredible views, and explore Yorkshire’s windswept hills and sweeping valleys across two National Parks.

This is the more manageable section of the Coast to Coast, but it’s no less epic. Your holiday will be all about open spaces and big views, with warm pubs and local teashops in between. Your journey finds its end at Robin Hood’s Bay and the North Sea.

This route can be run in the opposite direction upon request. Please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
