Community Traverse -Cleveland Hills 80KM

Introduction

The Cleveland Hills 80KM is a point-to-point ultra challenge. Participants  will traverse the incredible and varied landscape of the North Yorkshire moors  and follow the final section of Wainwrights Coast to Coast path.

Starting in Ingleby Arncliffe and finishing at the coast  in Robin Hood’s Bay, participants will cross varied terrain that  packs exciting trails, rolling ridgelines, exposed moorland, and ancient woodland. It’s a challenging but enticing day out on the trails that’s offered up  to test experienced  runners & strong hikers alike.
