Eight Stations Ultra

Eight Stations Ultra is a 30-mile trail ultra from Whitby to Pickering, organized by The Charm Bracelet Marathon. The route climbs about 3,322 ft and crosses eight railway stations along the Esk Valley and North Yorkshire Moors lines, with long sections running beside the rail tracks and occasional steam trains in view. The course is rugged, featuring mud, rocks, and trees, but walkers are welcome as long as they finish within a 13-hour limit.

The event provides GPX maps, four marshaled checkpoints with snacks, and finishers’ medals and a t-shirt; there’s also an option to plant a tree instead of a tee. Fully tracked for 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
