The Hardmoors 200  Ultramarathon will start in Kingston upon Hull and head alongside the River Humber following the Transpennine Trail to reach the start of the beautiful Wolds Way National Trail close to the Humber Bridge at Hessle

The Hardmoors 200 will then follow the Yorkshire Wolds Way for 79 miles along wooded slopes, over hills and through valleys, eventually descending from the northern escarpment to the final section of the Way finishing on the dramatic headland of Filey Brigg and the start of the stunning Cleveland Way National Trail

(HM 200 Competitors will have 24 hours to complete  the first 88 miles)

The Hardmoors 200 will then  follow the full 112 miles of the Hardmoors 110/Cleveland Way Trail along the  stunning Cleveland Heritage coastline visiting the seaside resort of Scarborough, the old smuggling town of Robin Hood’s Bay, Dracula’s Whitby, Staithes, Runswick Bay and Saltburn, before passing through the beautiful Cleveland Hills and the North York Moors before reaching the race finish in the market town of Helmsley.

(HM 200 Competitors will have 36 hrs to complete the 112 miles of the Cleveland Way/Hardmoors 110)

The Hardmoors 200 as the name suggests will be a 200 mile single stage Ultra

Competitors will have 60 hrs to complete the race.

PLEASE NOTE as well as the challenge of the 200 miles in its entirety, the cut offs will be a huge factor in this race. Completion will be low.

"I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and   succeed."  Robert H. Schuller

All competitors MUST have a support team (motorised ) Competitors can share support teams.

MARSHALLS & SWEEPERS

Marshalls and sweepers have given up their time to help out at this event, some marshalls/sweepers their full weekend. Marshalling/Sweeping is a long tiring job and marshalling an ultra event is, well, ultra long and tiring but in its way very rewarding helping you guys achieve your goals. So if you are feeling a bit grumpy, hide it, be pleasant and thank the marshalls. Yes you are still capable of this after 100 plus miles! Any bad treatment, abusive language etc given to a Marshall will result in that competitor being disqualified from the race.

FOOD (AT CHECKPOINTS AND RACE FINISH)

Various Checkpoints along the Hardmoors 110/200 route will provide basic food (those checkpoints are listed above) Checkpoint food will be Chia Charge Bars, Haribos,Salted Peanuts etc to complement your own stores.
