Route, support and logistics

The route follows established national trails along the northern edge of the North York Moors National Park. Support is provided at multiple aid stations; professional staff and volunteers staff the support points and medics are usually present. Food and drink options include hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, cakes and some hot meal options at finish. Kit checks are performed at registration and a mandatory equipment checklist is provided. A finishers’ drop bag (maximum 5 kg) is transported from the start to the finish. A coach transfer from Robin Hood’s Bay to the start is available for a fee. Aid stations and intermediate guidance times define the mandatory course corridor. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
