Ultra Trails - Tibthorpe Loop

The Tibthorpe Loop Half Marathon is an annual trail race that consistently sells out months before the start date, drawing runners from across Yorkshire and beyond. With only 300 spots available each year, securing your place early is essential to ensure you don’t miss out on this scenic journey through the picturesque Yorkshire Wolds.
The course itself offers a mix of gentle undulations over rolling hills, making it accessible for trail running enthusiasts at all levels. The terrain is straightforward and not overly technical, allowing participants to focus more on enjoying the stunning natural beauty rather than navigating challenging obstacles. A generous five-hour cut-off time provides ample opportunity to soak in the surroundings without feeling rushed.
The event kicks off and concludes at Field House Camping & Coffee Barn near Tibthorpe, a sustainable venue that offers free parking alongside top-notch amenities for runners of all needs. Upon crossing the finish line, participants will receive a unique wildflower seed medal as part of their prize package, symbolizing growth and renewal — much like the journey itself.
In addition to the race entry fee, £3 from each registration goes directly towards supporting local charities, ensuring that your participation has an impact beyond just personal achievement. The event is designed with inclusivity in mind, catering equally well to first-time trail runners as it does to seasoned veterans looking for a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.
With over 100 five-star reviews on Google, the Tibthorpe Loop Half Marathon boasts a reputation built upon exceptional organization and an unforgettable experience that celebrates both individual accomplishment and community spirit. Runners can expect top-notch support throughout their journey, making this event not just another race day but a memorable adventure through one of Yorkshire's most charming landscapes.
