About This Event

Ranger Ultras Yorkshire presents the Pen-Y-Ghent 50k on Saturday, 19 September 2026, setting off from Hawes Market House. This point-to-point route guides runners through North Yorkshire’s limestone trails, taking in the summit of Pen-Y-Ghent and sweeping views of classic Dales scenery. The event is designed to welcome both first-time ultra runners and elite athletes, with generous cut-off times that encourage participation rather than pressure. Entries are priced as a low-key, value-focused alternative to the larger commercial races, offering an affordable challenge without the premium price tag. Participants are advised to visit the website for the exact entry fee, as the cost is kept deliberately straightforward. The course winds through some of the region’s most striking landscapes, testing endurance while rewarding effort with dramatic vistas. Whether you are aiming for a personal best or simply seeking to complete your first ultra, the Pen-Y-Ghent 50k provides an inclusive and scenic experience. Runners should prepare for varied terrain underfoot and the unpredictable weather typical of the Dales. With its emphasis on accessibility and genuine trail running spirit, this event stands apart from the polished, high-cost circuit.
