Moors Traverse
The Moors Traverse is an 80 km ultra marathon that follows Wainwright’s coast to coast route between Ingleby Cross and Robin Hood’s Bay. The route runs along the northern edge of the North York Moors National Park and finishes on the shoreline at Robin Hood’s Bay. The event emphasises an ethos of self-sufficiency and provides pre-marked waterproof maps, a digital map and a GPX file for navigation. The route is not fully waymarked but follows a well established national hiking trail and may vary between editions due to landowner permissions.
Aid Stations and staffed support points are located along the route, including Lordstones, Lion Inn, Glaisdale, May Beck and Hawsker. Medics are usually present at support points and retiring is only possible at these locations. Food and drink options at aid stations include hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, cakes and fruit, with gluten-free and vegan alternatives. Finishers receive a medal and an event top, and a finishers drop bag (maximum 5 kg) is transported from the start to the finish.
Participants must carry mandatory kit checked at registration; additional exceptional weather items may be required. The event contributes to UTMB and ITRA rankings and uses virtual guidance times and defined support points to manage the course. Spectators and external assistance are restricted by the event rules.
