The Lets Run Adventures Tandem will take place on Sunday 29th of January 2023 starting and finishing at Goathland Village Hall on the North Yorkshire Moors.
The Tandem is a challenge event open to runners and walkers with a time limit of 10 hours, the event is a pair event with a mass start, before your team splits to their respective routes, one team mate takes the East Route, the other the West Route.
This year we are pleased to announce that we are able to return to the original route with runners meeting their partner in the village of Stape.
The success of your team will be on choosing a team mate of a similar pace to reach the North Yorkshire Railway Outstation in Stape aka 'the reunion checkpoint' to complete the last 8mls of the race together as a team. You will not be allowed to abandon your team mate.....it must be done as a team.
16 years minimum age.
Registration will take place from 08:00 to 08:45 with a mass start at 09:00hrs.
Cut offs will apply at the North Yorkshire Railway Outpost, Stape, where all competitors must have left by 17:00hrs if intending to continue.
Both routes are around 28 miles long and have around 3,500ft of elevation.

This is a self navigation event so it is expected that entrants will be competent navigators with both map and compass. It should be beared in mind that due to the time of year some participants will spend time in the dark.

Participants can pick their own route between checkpoint locations as long as they are all visited in the correct order and public rights of way are used. Each competitor will have the CP locations printed on their number and these need to be clipped at each one either by the competitor or CP Marshall.
