Community Traverse - Moors 100

The Moors 100 Miler is an epic adventure through Northern England's breathtaking landscapes, stretching over approximately 160 kilometres from the heart of Patterdale in the Lake District to The Lion Inn nestled within the North York Moors. This challenging yet accessible event follows sections of Wainwright’s renowned Coast to Coast route, offering runners a diverse and scenic journey across some of Britain’s most iconic terrain.
Participants will traverse rugged fells and mountain passes before descending into rolling dales and remote moorland, passing through historic market towns and expansive farmland. The early stages in the Lake District feature steep ascents and descents over challenging terrain, while later sections transition to less mountainous but equally demanding stretches across open heather-covered hills.
With a generous 60-hour cut-off time, this race caters not only to seasoned ultra-runners but also welcomes determined hikers looking for their first multi-day endurance challenge. Well-stocked checkpoints along the route ensure that runners are well-supported throughout their journey, providing essential supplies and aid stations where they can rest and refuel.
The event is known for its welcoming atmosphere fostered by a dedicated community of runners who share a passion for long-distance trail running. This supportive environment encourages participants to push beyond their limits while enjoying the camaraderie that comes with such an ambitious undertaking.
In addition, all participants will have access to live tracking and must adhere to strict safety guidelines including mandatory kit requirements which are detailed in pre-event communications.
