Dales Traverse

The Dales Traverse® is a 55km ultra following Wainwright’s coast to coast route from Kirby Stephen to Richmond. The event has an adventurous ethos and culture of self-sufficiency. Following the success of the inaugural 2024 edition, the Dales Traverse is back for its second year! Starting from Kirkby Stephen and following the same route as the Northern Traverse, the Dales Traverse passes through the North Pennines Area of Outstanding National Beauty, over the iconic Nine Standards, and into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park weaving through Swaledale to a stunning finish below Richmond Castle. This is an achievable and beautiful ultra and a great stepping stone for those aspiring to enter the Moors or Lakes Traverse.
