Yorkshire Wolds Ultra
The Yorkshire Wolds Ultra is a 54 km circular trail race through the landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds. The course begins and ends on the outskirts of Pocklington, passing through several local villages including Givendale, Bishop Wilton, Kirby Underdale, Thixendale, Huggate, and Fridaythorpe.
The route is designed to feature less-frequented trails and hidden valleys, characterized by wild grass meadows and significant elevation changes. The course includes a total climb of 4,100 feet. Participants have a 12-hour cut-off period to complete the distance, which requires an average pace of approximately 3 miles per hour. There are no individual cut-off times at the checkpoints.
