I'm doing a couple of their races (although sadly no trees will be planted as a result because I'll be just ahead (I hope) of the 'sweeper'!)When we set up DalesRunner we aimed to support local and stay as environmentally friendly as possible so it makes us very happy to announce a partnership with Sustainable Swaledale.![]()

We are still firming up details but we hope to offer you the chance to 'meet the owner' and find out about your trees and their significance, a guided walk showing you how and where the trees are sourced and a certificate explaining how to find your tree should you be exploring the dale.![]()

More details to follow but we hope you are as excited by the idea as we are 🥰![]()
