The Yorkshire Weekend Saunter Series in Knaresborough

Immerse yourself in the rolling hills and picturesque landscapes of North Yorkshire this autumn by joining the 2026 Yorkshire Weekend Saunter Series. This friendly trail running event offers runners and walkers alike an opportunity to explore scenic routes at their own pace, whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting out.
The series features two distance options: a leisurely 10kmish route and a more challenging half marathon course. Both events wind through the charming countryside around Knaresborough, offering breathtaking views of Yorkshire’s iconic scenery. The relaxed atmosphere encourages participants to enjoy the experience at their own speed while taking in the natural beauty that surrounds them.
Registration for both distances is available either online or on race day itself. For those opting to pay and register on-site, the 10kmish run starts promptly at 9:00am after a registration window from 8:00am, with participants completing one lap of the course. The half marathon begins earlier, at 8:30am, following a morning registration period starting at 7:30am, and involves two laps around the same scenic route.
Upon crossing the finish line, all runners are rewarded with a unique jumble medal to commemorate their achievement. Additionally, hot food and refreshments will be available for purchase along with your choice of beer or soft drink, making it easy to refuel after your run amidst the welcoming atmosphere that characterises this event.

Whether you’re looking to push personal boundaries or simply enjoy a leisurely jog through one of England’s most beautiful regions, the Yorkshire Weekend Saunter Series promises an unforgettable experience.
