Harkerside Hustle

UPDATE: Unfortunately the 2026 event has been cancelled due to low entry numbers.

The Hustle is a spectacular half marathon route starting from Grinton.

This half marathon race sees you starting with the DR40 runners on a tour of some of our favourite paths in Swaledale. A short road section, takes you from Grinton onto Harkerside Moor. The route takes you past an iron age farmstead before climbing Whitaside Moor . After a long steady descent along the track through Apedale, you will rejoin the DR40 course to climb to the Height of Greets and cross to Grinton Smelt Mill. Enjoy the views from Sharrow Hill before following grassy descents to Cogden Hall and back to the Dales Bike Centre to finish.

The course consists of moorland trods, hard packed tracks and grassy paths.
