Hardmoors 200

Begin a monumental traverse of Northern England with the Hardmoors 200, a singular 200-mile odyssey commencing at 08:00 on Friday, May 22, 2026. This revered biennial ultramarathon demands you conquer 24,300 feet of ascent within a stringent 60-hour window, weaving a punishing yet poetic line across three iconic National Trails. Your journey starts in the urban docks of Hull, swiftly transitioning to the serene, rolling chalk hills and hidden valleys of the 79-mile Yorkshire Wolds Way. With the relentless North Sea as your companion, the route then merges onto the legendary Cleveland Way, challenging you along its breathtaking coastal cliffs, through historic fishing villages, and across the vast, haunting expanse of the North York Moors. This is not a race of comfort but of sheer perseverance, where strategic survival through 15 essential checkpoints is as crucial as physical stamina. Designed for the most resilient endurance athletes, it offers a profound, low-completion-rate test where the landscape itself becomes both your adversary and your most majestic reward. Conclude your epic in the market town of Helmsley, having earned a place among the few who have fully measured themselves against this ultimate Hardmoors challenge.
