Silva Moors Traverse

The Moors Traverse is an 80 km ultra marathon that follows the final section of Wainwright's coast to coast route.

The trail continues through eastern Yorkshire, eventually concluding at the shoreline in Robin Hood's Bay.

The event features a total height gain of 1,600 metres and has a course closure time of 15 hours. The route is not specifically marked for the race, as it follows a well-established national hiking trail.
