A trail half marathon, circa 13.1 miles over the beautiful North York Moors National Park.

The route will take you through forest tracks on ancient pathways and sheep trods, through open fields, wooded valleys and expansive moorland.

Legend states that the giant Wade created it during an argument with his wife Belle when he threw a clump of earth at her. Fortunately it missed her,  forming a nearby hill, now called Blakey Topping...
