Let's Run Adventures - Hardmoors 55 Recce

Osmotherley, United Kingdom • 17 Jan 2026

Let's Run Adventures hosts the annual Hardmoors 55 Recce, a 25-mile running event from Cod Beck near Osmotherley to Helmsley in North Yorkshire. This recce covers a key section of the Hardmoors 55 route, including challenging ascents at Black Hambleton and White Horse, areas most runners tackle in darkness during the main race. The course follows the Cleveland Way and includes checkpoints with refreshments at Square Corner and White Horse, plus water refill points.

Groups led by experienced run leaders provide support and advice, making it a non-competitive, informative run. Participants must carry mandatory winter kit due to potentially harsh conditions. The event fosters a supportive atmosphere to prepare runners for the main Hardmoors 55 challenge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
