Ultra Tour Yorkshire Dales (UTYD) Embark on an exhilarating 50-kilometer journey through the breathtaking landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales. This challenging ultra race features over 1,260 meters of ascent, taking runners through some of the region's most stunning sights. The route includes picturesque locations like Malham Tarn and Buckden Pike, as well as sections of the scenic Dales Way. Runners will encounter runnable trails intermixed with boggy moorland terrain that requires careful navigation. With GPX files available for 50k, 25k, and 100k routes, participants can choose their own unique method to tackle each mile while adhering strictly to the event rules regarding route choice between checkpoints. Previously known as The Yorkshire Trod, this self-navigated race offers minimal way markers and limited marshal support. As such, it demands strong map-reading skills and experience navigating fell terrain. Participants must agree to these requirements when registering for the event. Registration opens on Saturday at 6:00 AM and closes at 7:45 AM with a start time of 8:00 AM sharp. The race includes strict cut-off times, such as vacating CP3 by 2 PM after covering approximately 15.5 miles within six hours. What's included in the entry fee: - Route GPX and live tracking - Comprehensive aid stations providing hot and cold food and drinks along the course - A finisher meal at the event conclusion - An exclusive UTYD gift Minimum age requirement is 20 years old.

About Grassington
Learn more about the host city, Grassington.
Grassington is a small town in Wharfedale in North Yorkshire, set in the limestone scenery of the Yorkshire Dales. You come here to browse in the cobbled market square and to hike the hills. The 2020 TV adaption of All Creatures Great and Small was filmed here, as the original setting of a veterinary practice in Thirsk had become too busy and modern. In 2021, the population was 1100.
