Silva Moors Traverse

Ingleby Cross, United Kingdom • 29 Mar 2026

Moors Traverse

The Moors Traverse is an 80 km ultra that follows Wainwright’s coast to coast route from Ingleby Cross to Robin Hood’s Bay, scheduled for Sunday 29 March 2026. The route runs along the northern edge of the North York Moors National Park before descending through eastern Yorkshire to a shoreline finish at Robin Hood’s Bay. The published estimate for height gain is approximately 1,600 metres.

The route is not fully waymarked but follows a well established national hiking trail. Organisers provide a pre marked waterproof race map at registration, a digital map via the Avenza app and a GPX file for use with watches or phones. A draft GPX is published in advance and a final GPX is emailed to participants before the event.

Support is provided at several aid stations on course, where participants can expect hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, cakes and fruit; medics are usually present. Retiring is only permitted at aid stations. Mandatory kit is checked at registration and additional exceptional weather items may be required when notified. A finishers drop bag is transported from start to finish with a maximum weight of 5 kg. The event contributes to UTMB 50K indexing and awards three ITRA points and two mountain points.
