Dales Way Run

The Dales Way Run covers 78 miles (125 km) through the Yorkshire Dales on quality running trails, travelling from Ilkley all the way to Bowness in the Lake District.

There are several testing hills as you cross two national parks, taking in classic moorland and the much-loved lumps of the Lake District. Enjoy classic Yorkshire countryside, singing rivers, dreamy dales and old stonewalls.

Start with a long rise and fall through the moors, with smaller hills to tackle towards the end. Muddy your running shoes in two of England's finest national parks on this joyous yomp.
