The Ranger Ultras Yorkshire 3 Peaks Ultra
Autumn running on classic limestone trails, in our usual Ranger Ultras ‘low-key, big-enjoyment, great-value’ style, which runners tell us they love. A popular and varied trail adventure.
The route is not waymarked (beyond fixed finger posts) but is wholly on public rights of way. Several on course refreshment and drinks points. GPX files are sent to all entries well in advance of the race. Based in Hawes with plenty of off-street parking. The village has a good choice of local B&B accommodation, pubs and shops. We offer pre and post event hospitality in HQ, finishers medals and winners’ trophies.
Places often fully sell before the entries closing date. We won’t overfill our race HQ or sacrifice quality just to make a few quid. Please don’t leave your entry too late.

Race Reports, Reviews & Blogs
2021: Ultra Boy Runs “I am very pleased to report that the Yorkshire Three Peaks Ultra is right up there with the best of them. Rangers Ultra races are some of the best value events around”
2021: Anthony Stevens “The cut-offs are generous, it’s a well-organised race with good variety in terrain, beautiful views and friendly, helpful marshals at the check points. I’ll definitely do the race again in the future.”
2019: Eddie Arthur “This is a terrific event; Ranger Ultras do a great job of organising a low-key, low-impact, but highly professional event. If you want inflatable arches and marching bands, this probably isn’t for you, but if you are just looking for a really friendly, well-organised event (and more pizza than you can eat) you should check them out.”
2018: Dumfries Running Club – Seb Pflanz “The race is organised and supported by Ranger Ultras, a friendly but extremely professional group of mountain guides and instructors. As well as being a great race in its own right it gives an opportunity to prepare for longer events such as the Spine Race.”
2016: Stilton Striders – Katie Hateley “The Yorkshire Three Peaks Ultra has to be my toughest running challenge to date I would highly recommend it for the stunning views and support.”
2016: Tom Hollins – Winner inaugural year
