Anytime Race 3: Scout Scar

Route Overview & Local Insights

Starting beside the Church of Saint John in Helsington, the run begins with a small rise and dip to cross Brigsteer Road before committing to a steady climb onto Helsington Barrows. The ascent gains height quickly on open ground, with firm paths and exposed sections. A descent leads back towards the road, followed by another sustained climb up to the Mushroom Shelter on Scout Scar, where the terrain opens out across limestone and short grass. Heading south along the scar, the route gradually looses height before a final descent to the finish, just short of Brigsteer Road.
