The 33rd Swaledale Marathon was on Saturday 9th June 2012. 419 participants completed the route. Conditions were bright and fine for most of the route providing magnificent views of Arkengarthdale and Swaledale. Rainfall over previous days led to 'soft going' in places. Showers developed over the last section of the route and Reeth, leading to a refreshing finish for most competitors. Congratulations to all finishers, especially to Ray Stevenson on his 33rd marathon. The prize winners were as follows.
