Goathland V Trigs Ultra Challenge

SilverBackTrails Goathland V Trigs

The event starts and finishes at Goathland Village Hall in the North York Moors National Park. Runners and walkers navigate a course of circa 37 miles that visits five listed Triangulation Pillars. Entry is available for solo participants or as pairs.

Participants must navigate themselves using public rights of way and visit all checkpoints in the order given before the event. CP and pillar locations are issued to entrants in advance and a suggested route GPX and a map will be available at registration. One mystery checkpoint is revealed only on course at a marshalled location.

This is a self supported challenge; there will be three checkpoints that provide snacks and drinks. Support crews and external support runners or walkers are not permitted. The time limit to complete the course is 15 hours and participants may need to finish in the dark. All finishers receive a medal and a certificate. A hot meal, tea and coffee are provided after the event with vegetarian and gluten free options. Optional event technical T shirts are available to purchase.

Participants must be 18 or over unless paired with an adult. There is a maximum field of 65 participants and entry fees are set per solo or per pair. There are no parking facilities at the village hall so village car parks should be used.

Required kit includes a map covering the North York Moors, a working compass and whistle, head torch and spare torch or batteries, emergency bivvy bag, spare warm hat and gloves, spare warm top, waterproof jacket and trousers with taped seams unless Paramo, battery pack and charging lead for a mobile phone, a charged mobile phone with the RD number, at least 500 ml of fluid, at least 60 g of emergency food, and a cup for drinks at checkpoints.
