Gravel Rocks Trail Running 2026: Duncombe Park
Gravel Rocks is a multi-day, multi-sport enduro-style event held at Duncombe Park in the North York Moors. The event combines off-road trail running and gravel riding with a festival environment centred on an event village and campsite.
Entry fees include Friday and Saturday nights' camping and campervan pitches, showers, toilets, a timing chip, talks from industry brands, and access to the Friday night run and the chosen Saturday route. Food vendors, a coffee barista and a licensed bar are available on site. Supporters attending only to watch may enter free.
The event features timed segments along the routes. Some segments are held on Friday night and the precise locations of timed sections are revealed only as participants progress on the route. Feed stations are provided on the Saturday routes. The event centre hosts live music and a DJ on Saturday night alongside an on-site bar and local entertainment.
Distances
