Hardmoors 110
The Hardmoors 110 is a single stage trail ultramarathon following the Cleveland Way National Trail around the North York Moors and the Cleveland Heritage coastline. The 2027 race marks the 20th edition and for one year only the route returns to its original direction, starting in Helmsley and finishing in Filey.
The route covers approximately 110 miles with about 5,000 m (16,500 ft) of cumulative ascent. Competitors have a 36-hour overall time limit and must pass all intermediate checkpoints within enforced cutoffs. Support and logistics include trackers issued with entries, two drop-bag locations (Kildale at 42 miles and Ravenscar at 88 miles), and multiple supplied checkpoints providing water, food and in some locations hot drinks.
Entries are limited (solos 150; relays 50). Relay teams must consist of two to four runners and have vehicle back-up; only one relay member needs to register. One support runner is permitted from Gribdale Gate to the finish and may not carry a runner’s kit. Dogs are not permitted at the event.
Mandatory equipment differs for supported and unsupported competitors but includes items such as a waterproof jacket with taped seams, hat and gloves, at least 1 litre of drink, headtorch, map, whistle, survival bag and mobile phone. Penalties or disqualification apply for missing mandatory items or breaching race rules. Prize categories include overall and age-group awards and a relay category; first male and female finishers receive a Hardmoors Sword for one year.
