The Hardmoors 15

The Hardmoors 15 returns to Fylingdales Village Hall on Saturday 9 January 2027, a 15-mile circular race that starts and finishes at the same spot. It's a distance that sits in a useful middle ground: long enough to feel like a proper outing, but short enough that you're not out there all day. Because it's a circular route, you'll end up right back where you started, which makes the logistics a bit simpler than a point-to-point.

The race is held in the Scarborough area, with the village hall itself located in Fylingdales, near Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby (YO22 4RA). If you're coming from further afield, that puts you right on the coast, so you've got the North York Moors on one side and the sea on the other. It's a good bit of country for a run, and the circular nature means you'll see the landscape shift and then come back around to where you began.

As for the distance, fifteen miles is a fair stretch of road and trail, and doing it as a loop means you're not worrying about a separate way home. It's the kind of run that takes you well beyond the local village and back again, and since it's a circular course, you'll be starting and finishing at the same venue. The race is called The Hardmoors 15, and it's held at Fylingdales Village Hall on Saturday 9 January 2027.
