Hardmoors 200
The Hardmoors 200 is a 200 mile single stage ultramarathon across North Yorkshire. The route starts in Kingston upon Hull and follows the Transpennine Trail to the start of the Wolds Way near the Humber Bridge at Hessle. It then follows the Yorkshire Wolds Way for about 79 miles to Filey Brigg and continues along the Cleveland Way / Hardmoors 110 route for 112 miles, finishing in Helmsley. Total ascent is listed as 24,300 ft / 7400 m.
Competitors must pass all checkpoints within stated time limits. Runners have 24 hours to reach the first 88 miles, 36 hours to complete the subsequent 112 miles, and 60 hours to finish the full course. Cut offs at intermediate checkpoints are an important factor and completion is expected to be low.
All solo competitors must have motorised support teams; teams may be shared. Relay teams of two to six runners are permitted and must also provide vehicle back up. Mandatory kit is checked before, during and after the race and includes items such as a waterproof jacket, hat and gloves, at least 1 litre of water, headtorch and spare batteries, maps, whistle, survival bag, foil blanket, emergency food, mobile phone and a cup for checkpoint drinks.
Entry is limited and fees apply. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
