  • 30 miles trail running + 3322 ft ascent

Event overview

You will encounter mud, rocks, trees, and more mud!  With a 13 hour cutoff, the event is also suitable for quick walkers. This event, like all our events is a partially self-navigational route. Route map, step by step route description and GPX file will be provided. There is 3322 ft of elevation over the 30 mile route, so if you’re looking for a nice flat race this one probably isn’t for you! Starting in Whitby you'll make your way down the Esk Valley Railway Line, before joining the North Yorkshire Moor Railway Line, eventually finishing in Pickering. You'll pass eight Railway Stations - the hint is in the name. Much of the route runs alongside the railway so you may spot a steam train or two! New for 2026 - Full tracked by Open Tracking. Trophies for 1st male, female, and non-binary, and 1st male and female 50, 60 & 70 categories.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
