Twin Falls 50K
The Twin Falls 50K is a winter trail ultra that starts from Goathland Village Hall and uses sheltered woodland, valleys and forest trails to reduce exposure to winter weather. The route climbs onto the North York Moors, descends into the Falling Foss woodland to pass a notable waterfall, then follows sections of the Mulgrave Way through ancient woodland and the Mulgrave Estate, passing the ruins of Mulgrave Castle.
Runners then climb inland with views across the North Yorkshire coast and the rolling moorland before entering the wooded valley of Beck Hole to pass Mallyan Spout waterfall and return to Goathland. The route will be waymarked with tape and arrows and is available on Strava; a tracker system is also used so friends and family can follow participants.
There will be four checkpoints along the route, one of which will be indoors with hot food and toilet facilities. Checkpoints will offer soft drinks and food with vegan and gluten free options, and free tea, coffee and cake will be provided at the start and finish.
Entry includes medals for all finishers, bespoke trophies for male and female podium finishers, a £50 Lets Run voucher for first male and female, trophies for first male and female in the 50, 60 and 70 categories, and optional event T‑shirts and hoodies. Parking is available in village car parks; charges apply.
Safety measures include multiple first aiders, first aid kits at checkpoints, trackers, and procedures for retirement from the course. Mandatory kit includes a waterproof jacket with taped seams, hats and gloves, a spare base layer, capacity to carry 500 ml fluid, a head torch, a fully charged phone with the race contact, a survival bag and a whistle.
