About the event
A new circular route taking in the 10 highest hills on The North York Moors, passing ancient burial sites, medieval boundary stones, ancient crosses and Bronze Age earthworks. You will follow parts of the Cleveland Way, Esk Valley Walk and the Lyke Wake Walk, navigating around the course as part of a team of two or a Solo entrant. No matter how you choose to enter, the journey will be the same, one of expansive views in all directions, clearly defined tracks and trods that will keep you trotting as you ascend and descend the hills of The Nork York Moors, your constant companions from the first to the last mile.
You will become immersed in a landscape that would still be familiar to our ancestors from as far back as the Stone Age, you will run over ancient trods and tracks that have been used by Bronze Age tribes, Celts, Viking raiders, medieval knights and priests.
You will pass burial mounds and ancient crosses all symbolising the constant habitation of this moorland landscape which was formed millions of years ago, before being sculpted into its present form by glacial activity 30,000 years ago.
Take a journey through time on an unforgettable 115 mile run that will bring you highs , lows, breathtaking views and memories that will last a lifetime as you push yourself beyond the comfort zone...
