Twin Falls 50K
The Twin Falls 50K is a winter trail ultra starting and finishing in Goathland Village Hall. The route climbs onto the North York Moors, descends into the woodland of Falling Foss to pass a notable waterfall, then follows sections of the Mulgrave Way through ancient woodland and the Mulgrave Estate, passing the ruins of Mulgrave Castle. Runners move inland for views across the North Yorkshire coast and the moorland, then descend into the wooded valley of Beck Hole to pass Mallyan Spout Waterfall before returning to Goathland.
The course is designed for winter conditions and uses sheltered woodland, valleys and forest trails to reduce exposure to the elements. The route is available on Strava and as a GPX download, will be waymarked with tape and arrows, and is supported by a tracker system so progress can be viewed remotely.
Entry benefits include medals for all finishers, bespoke trophies for male and female podium finishers, a first place voucher, and trophies for age categories. Checkpoints provide soft drinks and food with vegan and gluten free options, and one checkpoint will offer hot food. There are indoor checkpoint facilities and toilets at registration. Safety measures include multiple first aiders, first aid kits at checkpoints, tracker monitoring and planned options for retirement from the course.
Mandatory kit includes a waterproof jacket with taped seams, hat and gloves, spare base layer, capacity to carry 500 ml fluid, head torch, fully charged phone, survival bag and whistle. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
