Train for it: routes near the start

MODERATE

Hole of Horcum

11.0km · 239m climb · Loop · 8.0km away

A genuinely dramatic piece of landscape - a mile-wide natural amphitheatre - covered properly on foot rather than just glimpsed from the roadside viewpoint everyone else stops at.

MODERATE

Whitby and Sandsend Coast

16.1km · 302m climb · Loop · 11km away

You run the clifftop Cleveland Way from Whitby to Sandsend, high above the North Sea, with the ruined abbey behind you and the wide sweep of the bay ahead the whole way.

VERY HARD

Fryupdale Trail Marathon Route

48.3km · 1,015m climb · Loop · 11km away

This crosses a string of side dales that most visitors to the Moors never see, so instead of the honeypot villages you get genuinely remote heather moorland and steep-sided dales one after another.

HARD

Great Fryup Dale from Yorkshire Cycle Hub

25.4km · 660m climb · Loop · 12km away

You get both halves of the Moors in one loop: the green, sheltered dale of Great Fryup with its old farms, and the wide purple heather ridges that separate it from Little Fryup.
