The Beast Run

The Bishop Wilton Show Beast Run 2026

The race kicks off and finishes at the Bishop Wilton Showground, nestled in the heart of the stunning Yorkshire Wolds. Prepare for breathtaking views across the Vale of York and beyond as you tackle a course designed to test your grit and reward your spirit.

Expect lung-busting climbs, thrilling descents, and the infamous “Beast”, a short but brutally steep hill that will push you and reward you in equal measure
And that’s not all your race entry includes free admission to the incredible boutique country show, Bishop Wilton Show (one entry per runner).

So after you’ve smashed the challenge, celebrate in style!
