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 the section of the Hardmoors 55 route that many runners tackle in darkness, including challenging ascents at Black Hambleton and White Horse. The course follows the Cleveland Way and features checkpoints with snacks, drinks, and water refill points.
Groups led by experienced run leaders provide support, advice, and sweepers throughout the evening. The event emphasizes safety with a mandatory winter kit list and concludes with hot refreshments at Helmsley. It is a non-competitive, supportive recce designed to prepare runners for the main Hardmoors 55 race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
