Film Programme

150 Hours From Home – Faction CollectiveSkiing was born here. For thousands of years, nomadic herders in Mongolia’s Altai Mountains crossed vast peaks and plains on wooden skis—long before the modern sport existed.In this latest Faction feature film, the team traces skiing back to its origins, travelling 150 hours from home into the heart of the Altai to reconnect with where it all began.

10 in a Weekend – Blair Aitken (British Backcountry)A bold Scottish mountaineering challenge to hike, ski and showcase the UK’s ten highest mountains in a single weekend.Blair Aitken, alongside Gavin Carruthers and George Treble, tackle some of Scotland’s finest ski descents in a race against the clock—aiming to complete the journey and return to Edinburgh in time for work on Monday morning.

Worth It Every TimeA distinctly Scottish ski film celebrating resilience, local talent and the determination required to ski in conditions that are rarely perfect. Rather than endless powder days, this film captures the “bloody-mindedness” that defines Scottish skiing and the unique rewards that keep people coming back season after season.

Dolomites – CommencalAfter fifteen years of experience, Kilian Bron takes on the most exposed and demanding lines of Italy’s Dolomites.This film offers an inside look at the dedication, trust and preparation required for high-alpine mountain biking at its most extreme, while reflecting on the friendships and connections formed along the way. Dolomites marks the beginning of a new trilogy, with future adventures leading into the mountains of Nepal.

The Last Forgotten ArtIs crack climbing the last forgotten art?This beautifully shot film explores the creativity, commitment and physicality required to master off-width climbing—where hand jams, chicken wings, wedged knees and full-body wriggles are all part of the challenge. Following climbers Mel, Vicky and Steve at Ramshaw Rocks in the Peak District, the film celebrates a niche but passionate corner of the climbing world. Directed and produced by award-winning filmmaker Jessie Leong, The Last Forgotten Art is a story of connection—to self, to nature and to the bonds formed through sharing a rope.

This curated collection of films is presented in collaboration with the filmmakers and producers to raise vital funds for Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team. The team not only supports local adventurers when things go wrong, but also carries out day-to-day searches and rescues away from the beaten track.

To mark the occasion and support the team, there will be an exciting raffle on the night, with prizes generously donated by the film producers and local supportive businesses. Prizes include a brand-new pair of Faction Dancer skis, merchandise, signed books, meal and activity vouchers, and much more.

Dalbys Inferno 2026
2026-06-06 09:00 - 21:00 | Dalby Forest, Thornton le Dale, Pickering, North Yorkshire, YO18 7LT, United Kingdom
The 10 Circles of Suffering

Now in its 6th year, Dalby’s Inferno continues to grow in reputation as one of the most memorable — and addictive — endurance events in the calendar.

This is a backyard-style ultra marathon set deep within Dalby Forest, built around a deceptively simple concept:ten laps, ten hours, one relentless loop.

For 2026, the route has been modified to increase the distance, making the challenge even tougher for those brave enough to take it on.

The Challenge

5.5km forest loop

Start on the hour, every hour

Up to 10 laps

Total distance: 55km

A lap must be completed within the hour to be eligible to start the next one. Miss the cut-off and you’ll sit out — but you can still re-join later laps, right up to lap nine. Complete all nine and you earn your place on the tenth and final lap — the ultimate burn.

How long can you last…before time catches you?

Can you face the Roots of All Evil?Can you handle No Worries Hill?

For Runners of All Abilities

Dalby’s Inferno is designed to be both inclusive and brutal. Whether your goal is two laps or all ten, this event lets you push further than you thought possible.

In 2025, over 80% of runners completed all ten laps.And if you’ve ever wanted to claim the kudos of an ultra marathon, this is your chance — 55km comfortably qualifies.

Dalby Dash 10K 2026

Remembrance Sunday – Sunday 8 November 2026Start time: 11:02am(Two-minute silence observed before the start)

The Dalby Dash 10K is a special Remembrance Sunday trail run held in honour of our service men and women. Set in the stunning surroundings of Dalby Forest, the route combines smooth tarmac and well-maintained hard trails, offering a beautiful and accessible course for runners of all abilities.

The event is delivered in association with Pickering Running Club and is proudly supported by Pickering Rotarians, Veterans’ charity Rock2Recovery, and Scarborough & Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team (SRMRT).

A Proven, Friendly Event

The 2025 Dalby Dash was a fantastic success, raising an incredible £6,000 for our supported charities. The atmosphere was positive and welcoming throughout the day, made possible by an outstanding team of volunteers, marshals and organisers—coordinated by Sharon Lynn—alongside the efforts of Pickering Rotary and SRMRT, who ensured everyone stayed safe.

This is a friendly, volunteer-run trail race, with a great memento for every finisher. It’s no surprise that Trail Running Magazine listed the Dalby Dash as one of the most beautiful races in Britain.

The Route

The race starts outside the Dalby Forest Visitor Centre at Low Dalby. Runners head out along a firm tarmac climb up Housedale—the only significant hill on the course, taken at a steady gradient. A special prize is awarded to the first male and female runners to reach the top.

From there, the route continues along the ridge on fast gravel trails, before a long, flowing descent down to the beck and a final “Dash” back to the finish line.

Entry & Value

The Dalby Dash 2026 offers excellent value and includes electronic chip timing.

£18 – England Athletics club members

£20 – Non-club runners(plus booking fees)

All entry income goes directly towards organising the event and raising funds for our charities:
