The Hardmoors 26.2: Wainstones is a challenging trail running event held at Chop Gate Village Hall in North Yorkshire, part of the scenic North York Moors. Scheduled for June 15, 2025, it features three circular courses: a 28.5-mile marathon, a 16.5-mile half marathon, and a 9.5-mile 10k. The routes are exposed and demanding, requiring mandatory safety kit including waterproof jackets, hats, gloves, and navigation materials, as the courses are not marked.

The event limits entries to 400 participants and emphasizes self-navigation with downloadable maps and route descriptions. It promotes environmental care by being a cupless race, asking runners to bring their own cups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
