Eight Stations Ultra
The Eight Stations Ultra is a trail event held on Sunday 12th July 2026 that follows a largely railway sided route from Whitby to Pickering. The course covers 30 miles with 3322 ft of elevation and passes eight railway stations.
Much of the route runs alongside the Esk Valley Railway Line and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway Line. The course is partially self navigational; a route map, step by step description and GPX file are provided. The event is fully tracked by Open Tracking.
Participants should expect typical trail surfaces including mud, rocks and tree roots. There are four marshaled checkpoints with water available and basic snacks at two checkpoints. First aid is available on the day. Dogs are not permitted due to the agricultural nature of the route.
The event allows walkers who can complete the course within the 13 hour cutoff and accepts entrants aged 20 or older. Entry fees listed are £67 standard and £65 affiliated. The entry package includes a finishers medal, a t shirt, water and snacks. A coach transfer from Pickering to Whitby is available for an additional fee. Trophies are awarded for top finishers in overall and several veteran categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
