SilverBackTrails Wade’s Revenge

SilverBackTrails Wade’s Revenge is a trail half marathon held in the North York Moors National Park with start and finish at Levisham Village Hall. The course covers approximately 13.1 miles and is the Widdershins Edition, using the same route but run the opposite way around.

The route follows forest tracks, ancient pathways and sheep trods, and passes through open fields, wooded valleys and expansive moorland. Runners pass through the Hole of Horcum, a natural amphitheatre around 400 ft deep and three quarters of a mile wide. The course has two checkpoints offering flapjacks, crisps, sweets, water and pop. At the finish there will be tea or coffee, soup and a roll. A bespoke finisher medal is awarded to all finishers. The event has a five hour time limit and places are limited to 50 entrants. No entries are accepted on the day.

There may be spot checks and anyone not carrying the required kit will be withdrawn and barred from future SilverBack Trails events.

The course will be marked with marshals and flags, a GPX route file is provided to entrants and a master route map is available at registration.
