Silva Moors Traverse

Ingleby Cross, United Kingdom • 29 Mar 2026

Moors Traverse

The Moors Traverse is an approximately 80 km ultra running event on Sunday 29 March 2026. It follows Wainwright’s coast-to-coast route from Ingleby Cross to Robin Hood’s Bay, running along the northern edge of the North York Moors National Park and then through eastern Yorkshire. The route’s headline height gain is 1,600 m. The race has an ethos of self-sufficiency and requires participants to be 18 or older. Entry fees start at £85. The event contributes to the UTMB index and is worth 3 ITRA points and 2 mountain points.

Route, support and requirements

The route is not fully waymarked but is a well established national hiking trail; official waymarks exist in places. Participants receive a waterproof race map at registration, a digital map via the Avenza app, and a GPX file (final GPX sent to participants about 10 days before the event). The exact course and distance can vary between editions.

Support points on the course (distances from the start) include:

  • Lordstones: 13 km, 511 m gain
  • Lion Inn: 32 km, 19 km from Lordstones
  • Glaisdale: 46 km, 15 km from Lion Inn
  • Falling Foss: 61 km, 15 km from Glaisdale
  • Hawsker: 70 km, 9 km from Falling Foss
  • Robin Hood’s Bay (finish): 77 km, 7 km from Hawsker

Support points are staffed and usually have a medic. Retiring is only possible at support points. Mandatory kit is checked at registration; a survival bag is required and a finishers drop bag (max 5 kg) is transported from start to finish. Vegans and gluten-free options are available at support points. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
