Course and logistics

The route is 50k with approximately 1260 m of total ascent. The course passes Malham Tarn, Buckden Pike and sections of the Dales Way and includes runnable trails and boggy moorland. Participants may have route choice between checkpoints where allowed, but the event has no way markers and only limited marshals, so map reading, navigation skills and fell experience are required. The event uses checkpoint cut-offs. Included for participants are a route GPX, live tracking and timing, aid stations with hot and cold food and drinks, a finisher meal and a UTYD gift.
