Gravel Rocks Trail Running Weekend Friday 2026

Gravel Rocks Trail Running Weekend Saturday is an off-road running event at Duncombe Park Estate in the North York Moors, part of a summer weekend for runners and gravel riders. The Saturday run offers 10km, 20km, or 30km options, with timing chips included and timed segments along the route. The event begins before Saturday for runners participating in Gravel Rocks in the Dark, a 6km Friday night run starting around 9:30pm with lights and two short timed segments. The format is enduro-style, where the whole route counts but timed sections provide the racing challenge. Segment locations are kept secret until participants encounter them, making pacing less predictable than in a standard trail race. Entry includes Friday and Saturday night camping or campervan pitches, showers, toilets, the Friday night run, and the chosen Saturday route. The event centre features food vendors, a coffee barista, a bar, DJs, a live band, and talks from industry brands; family members attending only to support are welcome free of charge. The field includes experienced off-road athletes and newcomers, and the weekend intentionally places runners and riders together rather than in separate events.
