The Trod 50k
The Trod 50k is a 50 kilometre route starting in Grassington within the Yorkshire Dales. The course covers a total ascent of 1260 m and visits locations including Malham Tarn, Arncliffe and sections of the Dales Way. The terrain includes runnable trails, boggy moorland and sustained climbs between valleys.
Two distance options are offered:
- 50k route with 1260 m ascent
- 25k fixed route requiring the provided GPX
Organisers supply a GPX file for both distances. The 25k is a fixed route and the GPX must be followed. 50k entrants may deviate from the GPX only if they follow event rules, visit all checkpoints and remain on recognised rights of way. There are no way markers and few marshals, so map reading and navigation skills and prior fell experience are required.
The venue for registration and event facilities is Grassington Primary School. Minimum age to enter is 20. Included for participants are the route GPX, live tracking and timing, aid stations with hot and cold food and drinks, a finisher meal and an event gift or medal.
