A trail running holiday through the North York Moors and along the Cleveland Heritage Coast, from Helmsley to Filey.
From £400 per person
High open moorland and breezy coastal running await on the Cleveland Way, a trail running holiday of two distinct halves. From Helmsley, delve through the North York Moors National Park. Here the route hikes to its highest point at Roseberry Topping, but it’s suitably apologetic with smooth, pleasant trails and great views over purple moorland. Soon you’ll take on the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Heritage Coast, where you’ll spy sandy beaches from hilly cliff-top trails. Top up your reserves with a seaside fish and chips and press on to the route’s end in Filey. It’s a scenic, refreshing run with some challenging gradients.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
We also organise walking holidays along this route. Find out more.

This fantastic short break explores the stunning Cleveland Heritage Coast section of the Cleveland Way National Trail, beginning in the Victorian seaside town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea and following the rugged cliffs down to Scarborough.
The Cleveland Way Short Running Break is a classic showcase of breath-taking coastal terrain, bounding along bracing clifftops, racing across sandy beaches and exploring a range of picturesque fishing villages and bustling seaside resorts. While the scenery throughout is beautiful, some of the best views can be seen from Boulby, the highest cliffs in England.
Locations of particular interest include Whitby, boasting amazing heritage and folklore, and the seaside resort of Scarborough, with its ancient castle providing panoramic views over the Yorkshire coastline. This three-day run, filled with beautiful landscapes and a wealth of maritime and literary history, is a fantastic way to experience this short section of the Cleveland Way.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
