Trail running in Scarborough

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.

If the standard North Bay loop leaves you wanting a few more kilometres, this variant adds distance in the same flat, fast style without changing the character of the route.

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.
