Emily Woodhouse
We asked Emily to take a deep dive on some of the best hill runs in the UK and what better place to start than with some of our competitors and athletes? If you don’t see your favourite here, be sure to let us know what we’re missing out on and we’ll be sure to check it out!
1. The 7 Hills Loop, Yorkshire Wolds
Ultr trail racer and mountain enthusiast Runar Sæther says, “East Yorkshire does not have any big hills but luckily I live in a village on the Yorkshire Wolds and have access to some nice trails straight from our house. My favourite loop is probably ‘The 7 Hills”. The original race route starts from the outskirts of the village of Elloughton, but I usually run from my home in South Cave. The loop is roughly 12km with about 500m of climb, so nothing crazy. No big climbs, but more of an undulating run where you constantly shift gears – going up and down. There are great views of the villages and the Humber and some smooth woodland trails. Unless it is muddy of course…”
