Three more tough off-roaders to test your mettle

-

RAVENSCAR COASTAL HALF MARATHON

Beautiful setting, but a tough course. You start at 700m above sea level, overlookin­g Robin Hood’s Bay in the North York Moors National Park, before trekking along the coastal path and across fields and woodland. Scarboroug­h, North Yorkshire, May 7, srmrt.org.uk

BOLTON HILL HALF MARATHON

As hilly as the name suggests, but more picturesqu­e than you might think. This sends runners up and over Winter Hill and then on to Rivington Pike along country roads and the trails of the stunning West Pennine Moors. Bolton, Manchester, June 11 hillrunner.org.uk

MAVERICK ORIGINAL DEVON HALF MARATHON

Another one to test you: there’s a serious ascent at the 2km point and some fierce ups and downs later on, but the route, taking in the River Teign and Castle Drogo is ample compensati­on. Exeter, Devon, July 1 maverick-race.com
