A beautiful route through the Dales

Take on this trail marathon for runners or off-road bikers on the beautiful 26.2 mile route from the market town of Settle on bridleways, helping to raise crucial funds for Sue Ryder's expert, compassionate end-of-life care.

Run or off-road bike

You can choose to run or off-road bike this 26.2 miles on the hilly trails above the beautiful market town of Settle, in the Yorkshire Dales.

The event, sponsored by Castleberg Outdoors and 3 Peaks Cycles, starts and finishes at North Ribblesdale RUFC. All participants will be rewarded with a buff and hot food when you reach the finish.

The route

The 3 Dales Marathon route is on good trails and is signed and marshalled. It does, however, take in some remote parts of the Yorkshire Dales countryside so you need to be fit and healthy enough to take part, and prepared with appropriate clothing and footwear for the day.

Those who would ideally like a shorter route, should see the Settle Loop Challenge 2023 which is a 10 mile option also suitable for walkers on the same day, with the same start and finish address.
