Hardmoors 160
The Hardmoors 160 is a single stage ultramarathon of 160 miles linking the Tabular Hills route with the Cleveland Way. The route starts at Scalby, runs west along the Tabular Hills to Helmsley, then follows the full length of the Cleveland Way National Trail to the finish at Filey Evron Centre. Total ascent is approximately 6,700 metres and competitors have a 50 hour overall time limit.
Entry is limited to 60 solo competitors. All runners must be supported by a motorised crew for the full race; runners may share support and may use one support runner at a time on specified sections. All solo entrants must have completed a single stage event of at least 60 trail miles to be eligible. Trackers are provided with entry and will broadcast competitor locations for safety and crew use.
There are multiple manned checkpoints along the route, including Cockmoor Hall, Hole of Horcum, Helmsley, Kildale and Ravencar, with food, water or hot drinks offered at designated points. Mandatory kit must be carried and will be spotchecked on course; missing certain items incurs time penalties or disqualification, and a waterproof jacket and survival bag are mandatory. A relay option is available for teams of 2 to 6 with vehicle back up and different equipment rules; the relay entry fee is listed separately.
