About the trail

From the heart of the Peak District all the way up to Scotland, the Pennine Way is a legendary trail that follows England’s backbone through the best wilderness of the north. But don’t picture the cold slog of the Spine Race when you look at this route. Undertaken in good weather and with reasonable daily mileages, this challenging trail run offers unique and staggering views like the great scoop of High Cup Nick. Villages nestled in the crooks of the Pennines and the Cheviot Hills provide memorable rest stops, and you’ll even visit a stretch of Hadrian’s Wall. The Pennine Way is full of challenging terrain, but its remote spaces offer endless rewards. A classic challenge.

Pennine Way Run

Britain’s oldest and toughest National Trail wiggles 265 miles (424 km) from the Peak District to Scotland, providing a classic running challenge.

The legendary trail passes through the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales; climbs to England’s highest point outside the Lake District; and winds along Hadrian’s Wall and through the criminally under-rated Cheviot Hills.

Few sights compare to High Cup, an apocalyptic, glacier-scooped canyon.

These landscapes have inspired great writers and the route is dotted with inviting villages you’ve never heard of yet may never want to leave.

If you find remote places stirring, and enjoy challenging terrain, the Pennine Way Run is for you.
