Silva Dales Traverse

The Dales Traverse is a 55km ultramarathon tracing Wainwright’s coast-to-coast route from Kirkby Stephen to Richmond. Run by Ourea Events, it embraces an adventurous ethos and a culture of self-sufficiency. The course follows the same coast-to-coast line as the Northern Traverse, passing through the North Pennines AONB, over the Nine Standards, and weaving through the Yorkshire Dales National Park to a dramatic finish beneath Richmond Castle.

It’s pitched as an achievable, beautiful ultra and a great stepping stone for those aiming at the Moors or Lakes Traverse. Key highlights include Kirkby Stephen, the North Pennines, Swaledale, and the finish at Richmond. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
