About the race
The Hardmoors 55 is a 55-mile ultramarathon from Guisborough to Helmsley, crossing the North York Moors and Cleveland Hills. About 95% of the route follows the Cleveland Way, offering rugged moorland scenery and winter conditions with substantial ascent (over 2700m). Runners navigate via checkpoints with strict cutoffs and must self-support, carrying a comprehensive mandatory kit list that includes waterproofs, a map, torch, and emergency supplies.
A single support runner is allowed from Sutton Bank to the finish, and a tracker monitors progress. The event finishes at Helmsley Sports Club, with optional coach transport available beforehand. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
