The event takes place in Goathland in the North York Moors National Park on 18 April 2026. Runners and walkers navigate a course of circa 37 miles that visits five listed Triangulation Pillars. The event can be entered as a solo participant or as a pair.
Participants navigate themselves and may choose their own route provided public rights of way are used. Checkpoints must be visited in the prescribed order. Checkpoint and pillar locations are sent to participants before the event and a suggested route map and GPX file are provided at registration. One checkpoint location is withheld until competitors are on the course; that checkpoint contains an item that must be carried to the finish.
The event is self supported but three checkpoint locations will provide snacks and drinks. Support crews and support runners or walkers are not permitted. Competitors have 15 hours to complete the course and should expect some of the route to be done in fading light or darkness.
