Event overview

The Moors Traverse® is an ultra running event scheduled for Sunday 29 March 2026. The course follows Wainwright’s coast-to-coast route from Ingleby Cross to Robin Hood’s Bay and is quoted at 80 km with an estimated 1,600 m of climb. The event promotes a culture of self-sufficiency and has a minimum age of 18. Entry fees start from £85.

Route, support and logistics

The route is unmarked on the ground but follows a well established national hiking trail; participants receive a waterproof paper map, a GPX file, and a digital race map via the Avenza app. Support is provided at named Support Points along the route, which offer indoor or covered facilities, hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, cakes and other snacks. Medics are normally present at Support Points and retiring is only possible at those locations. A Finishers Drop Bag (maximum 5 kg) is transported from the start to the shoreline finish and is collected at registration. Mandatory kit must be carried and will be checked at registration; a survival bag is required. The shoreline finish is at Robin Hood’s Bay with access to a nearby village hall for refreshments and a finishers’ bag. The event contributes to UTMB and ITRA rankings and awards a finishers’ medal to everyone who completes the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
