The Ship Inn Shuffle

Brace yourself for this out and back course starting on the cliffs at Sewerby and running along the coast, passing Danes Dyke and out to the fantastic Flamborough . Then enjoy hot/cold food at the Ship Inn at the end of your run. A beautiful run through the gorgeous North Yorkshire coastal countryside. Oh I do like to be beside the seaside.

The run is through fields, woodland, and trail, the route is undulating, including quite a few steps and a couple of stiles. If you choose to do the 5k or 10k, the route is less challenging. The half marathon and marathon are a tad more challenging. With a generous 6.5 hour cut off for all the distances, take your time or take up the challenge. This one is not one to be missed. A lovely day out.

We've feed/drink stations approx every 3 miles, helping to keep you hydrayted and sugar levels up. The route is signposted and of course we have some of our lovely Grim marshals along the course. At the end collect your butty from the Blue Savannah van in front of the pub or once the pub opens, collect your meal from the Ship Inn, (veggie and GF options are available). Either way it's a chance to sit down and talk to other runners.

NB because you get food in the pub we won't offer our usual range of sweets, drinks, at the end of your race

During the race important things to note:

We try to be cup-less: Our feed stations are normally around every three miles and offer drinks and a range of food but please bring your own re-usable cup or bottle.

Headphones: Most of our courses are off road but we still prefer you not to wear earphones and due to oncourse incidents, we have taken the decision to ban large over ear headphones. These block out any other sounds and don't allow runners to hear marshals, vehicles or other users of the route. If you do need to wear earphones, then please use bone conducting earphones or "one in one out" in ear pieces. Please note, there may will be unmarshalled road crossings.

Know your route: We offer downloadable GPX files for our routes. Our routes are mainly off road and not every corner or junction will have a marshal. Please ensure you have a version of the route to help you navigate.

Withdrawal: If you need to withdraw during an event please let the nearest marshal know. In certain circumstances we allow runners to drop distances during an event. Please speak to the timers or RD at the end of your run.

Transfers/Deferrals: You can self-serve your transfer on our website up to 48 Hours before the event

We no longer mail out a race brief as most of the information is here on the website however we advise you to visit our FAQ section and join the “Grim Up North Chat” group on Facebook which will help with any other questions you have.
