The Dentdale Run

The 2026 Dentdale Run will take place on Saturday 14th March.

This scenic road race in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales helps to raise much needed funds for Dent Church of England Primary School - Last year’s event generated £3,500 for the school.

The course is challenging with many runners using it as a warm-up for the London Marathon.

There are two distances to choose from:

14.2 miles

The Dentdale 14.2m route heads out from Dent village towards Sedbergh before turning back towards Dent at Rash Bridge. The route returns towards Dent and along the valley towards Cowgill before turning back towards Dent at Ewegales with the finish in the centre of the village.

7.9 miles

The Dentdale 7.9m route covers the first half of the course as above before turning back into the village with the finish in the centre of the village.

We are working hard to make the race as spectacular as always and will keep you updated on this webpage and on the Dentdale Run Facebook page.
