The Northern Traverse follows Alfred Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk, as he described it in his book. It guarantees hours of fun on a 300km course from Saint Bees at the Irish Sea, through 3 National Parks: Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors, to Robin Hood's Bay on the shores of the North Sea.
100 miles, let’s be honest, it is the mythical distance every aspiring ultrarunner thinks about. Some months ago, I registered for what would ultimately be my first real 100 miles. I have run about the same distance before, but each time in a multiple day solo adventure setting. This would be a non stop race, quite a different ball park.
- a 80 km loop, ran twice: first clockwise, then counterclockwise.
- start on Saturday morning 04:00
