Over the beautiful
North York Moors
Let us help you...
SilverBackTrails came into being in the middle of 2020 with one aim to get people out running and walking over the North Yorkshire Moors and beyond. we started off with our Wednesday Wanders, meeting at a different location for a run of about 6 miles. As much as the running Wednesdays are about the history of the moors, and "runsploring" all its nooks and crannies. And of course, having a natter and a brew of some sort at the end...
Over two years on we are still wandering and finding new stuff to look at.
​
As well as Wandering we decided we wanted to build on this with some no-nonsense back-to-basic events and training.
Having completed many events of various distances from 10k to 450 miles, including UTMB, The Tunnel 200, HM 200 the inaugural National 3 Peaks Ultra, circa 450 miles, Cymru Lon las 253 and Line 300 I wanted to get back to basics and let people enjoy their running with easy-to-enter events without all the bells and whistles... Hopefully, this is being achieved with our Revenge Series and Goathland V Trigs.
We also offer basic map sessions that should appeal to complete beginners and those who have forgotten previous learning.
​
New for this year, we will be providing personal mentoring and coaching for trail runners and ultra-distance runners.
If you live within easy reach of the North Yorkshire Moors then this may be for you.
Get in touch with us via the website to have a no-obligation discussion about your training needs and running aspirations.
From beginners to leathery campaigners and anyone else in between...
Hills, hard work and sweat are guaranteed...

The inaugural Lamplighter 30...
took place on the 15th of June this year, a true dusk till dawn running adventure.
The lamplighter 30 is a true dusk till dawn running adventure.
This year participants ran through a night of rain and rolling fog before being greeted by sunshine and blue skies in the morning. The course was very wet and boggy, with many tracks ankle deep in mud and water making forward movement a challenge. Some parts of the course are on firmer tracks so a decent momentum can be kept up at times. First home was Sam Dunwell in a time of 4hrs 45 minutes, a good time for a little over 31.7 miles, especially with the conditions underfoot.
Everyone who finished so did so in around 10 hrs, with some doing a good deal more than the described mileage. Bonus miles always value for money, and legs...
Next year the Lamplighter will take place on the 14th of June, why not come and join us, and run through the night.
