About the race
The Charm Bracelet 50 and 104 mile events are long distance trail ultras that finish in Skinningrove on the North East coast. Two route options are offered:
- 104 miles
- 50 miles
The 104 mile route starts in Dufton and follows established long distance trails including the Pennine Way, the Teesdale Way, the King Charles III Coastal Path and the Cleveland Way for the final miles. The 50 mile route follows the second half of the longer course and starts in Croft on Tees. Elevation for the longer route exceeds 6000 ft while the 50 mile route has about 1709 ft of ascent.
Both events are fully tracked and provide GPS tracking so others can follow a participant's progress. Checkpoints and services: the 104 mile course has ten checkpoints and the 50 mile course has five; water and snacks are available at all checkpoints and hot and cold food at selected indoor checkpoints. There will be pie and mash at the finish suitable for dietary requirements. Bag drop is available at several checkpoints.
Entry details include minimum age 20, an unsupported runner requirement to show completion of a previous 50 mile or longer event at entry, and relay entries of two to four runners with self‑arranged transport between changeover points. Cutoffs are 40 hours for the 104 mile course and 20 hours for the 50 mile course. First aid and event insurance are provided. The entry package includes a finishers medal, t shirt, food, water and a GPS tracker. The organisers operate with environmental measures including an option to plant a tree instead of a finishers t shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
