New for 2022, the Yorkshire Dales Festival will see the area's beautifully dramatic landscape become the setting for an exciting day of trail runs that adrenaline junkies will love. For those of a slightly more sedate disposition there will be scenic walks for all abilities, from families to intrepid explorers looking for an adventure.

Whether you want to take on a new challenge with a trail run or prefer to walk at a steadier pace, The Yorkshire Dales Festival is the perfect way to get out and get active in the great Yorkshire countryside and, with routes and distances of varying difficulties, there’s an event for everyone.

Two exciting trail-runs will take place on 21 August with an intense, challenging 16-mile route, as well as a more manageable but equally enjoyable 5 mile route. So whether you're an experienced trail-runner, or you've never strayed far from the beaten track, there's something to suit any runner with a taste for adventure.

The 16-miler starts near the iconic Ribblehead Viaduct and takes on difficult climbs, valleys, limestone trails and river paths along the Ribble Way while the 5-miler has a loop course that takes on riverside paths, open fields and a challenging climb through Langcliffe before descending back into Settle where the run started. The 5 miler is an entry-level course that offers some challenges for anyone who wants to push themselves.
