Esk Valley Epic
The Esk Valley Epic is a trail ultra of 36 miles with 4,487 ft of ascent that follows the Esk Valley Walk on a circular route starting and finishing in the village of Glaisdale. The event is fully tracked with open tracking and holds race permit ARC/26/0085.
The course includes five marshaled checkpoints where water and snacks are available. There is a 14 hour time limit to complete the route; tail runners will be provided to support progress to the finish. First aid cover is available on the day.
Entry details specify a standard fee of £69 or £67 for affiliates. The entrance package includes a finisher medal, a t-shirt, water and snacks. Trophies are awarded in multiple categories including overall and several age groups, and there is an option to plant a tree instead of taking a t-shirt.
