The Knaresborough Soft Shoe Shuffle is a trail running festival based around Knaresborough in North Yorkshire, with distances ranging from approximately 10K to an ultra marathon. The route begins near the Beryl Burton Cycleway and takes runners through parkland and onto the old railway track between Knaresborough and Harrogate.

The course is based around a roughly 6.5 mile lap, with the longer races completing multiple circuits to reach their respective distances. Runners can choose from the 10K, half marathon, 20 mile, marathon and ultra distances, making the event suitable for a wide range of experience levels. The predominantly runnable trails and gradual climbing provide an accessible introduction to longer trail racing while still presenting a rewarding endurance challenge.

The course is marshalled and signed, with feed stations positioned approximately every three miles providing water, snacks and fuel. All finishers receive a bespoke medal and post race treats, while the lap format brings runners back through familiar sections of the scenic Knaresborough countryside as they progress through their chosen distance.
