Silva Dales Traverse

The Silva Dales Traverse is a 55km ultra running event held in northern England, following Wainwright’s iconic coast-to-coast route from Kirkby Stephen to Richmond. The course traverses the scenic North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, crosses the famous Nine Standards, and winds through the Yorkshire Dales National Park, finishing below Richmond Castle. With approximately 1,400 meters of elevation gain, the event emphasizes self-sufficiency and adventure.

Participants navigate an unmarked but well-established trail, supported by digital maps and checkpoints. The Dales Traverse offers a challenging yet achievable ultra experience, ideal for runners aiming to progress to longer events like the Moors or Lakes Traverse.
