MODERATE

North Bay Promenade, Cross Lane and Green Lane

14.6km · 220m climb · Loop · 2.1km away

It's a genuinely flat, fast loop that mixes proper sea views with quiet countryside lanes minutes from the town centre, so you get variety without needing a car to reach the start.

MODERATE

Red Scar Lane, Station Road and North Bay Promenade

14.9km · 154m climb · Loop · 2.1km away

This is about as flat as trail running gets in this part of Yorkshire, which makes it the route to reach for on a fast-effort day or when you're carrying a niggle that a hillier route would aggravate.

MODERATE

Hole of Horcum

11.0km · 239m climb · Loop · 19km away

A genuinely dramatic piece of landscape - a mile-wide natural amphitheatre - covered properly on foot rather than just glimpsed from the roadside viewpoint everyone else stops at.
