No reviews of the Samaritans Way Trail Run, and nothing on what people wore. Both are things no organiser publishes and every runner wants before they enter — how it actually went, and what was on your feet.

What you’re in for

A spring trail race from Guisborough Rugby Club on the Samaritans Way, the waymarked route laid out by Teesside Samaritans on the northern edge of the North York Moors. There are two distances, a 10km and a half marathon, and both can be run or walked. The organiser says the 2027 courses are unchanged from 2026, when the 10km measured about 10.25km and the half about 22.95km. The route is marshalled, checkpoints are stocked, and there is medical cover on course. Finishers get a medal, a T-shirt and food at the end. Profits go to the Teesside Samaritans branch, and the race is timed to mark its birthday in early April.

HARD

Roseberry Topping from Guisborough

17.3km · 514m climb · Loop · 0.4km away

A summit with a genuinely unusual profile - half sharp peak, half sheared-off cliff face - that Captain Cook is said to have climbed as a boy from the village right below it.

HARD

Great Fryup Dale from Yorkshire Cycle Hub

25.4km · 660m climb · Loop · 15km 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.

VERY HARD

Fryupdale Trail Marathon Route

48.3km · 1,015m climb · Loop · 15km 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.

Common questions

: The Samaritans Way Trail Run offers 2 distances: 10km Run (6.2 miles), Half Marathon (21.0 km / 13.0 miles).
: No course file for the Samaritans Way Trail Run yet, so there's no measured climb here. When UPrevail Events publish one, this fills in.
: Not graded yet. A TRP grade is worked out from distance and climb measured off the course file, and there isn't one for the Samaritans Way Trail Run yet.
: We haven't confirmed the marking on the Samaritans Way Trail Run with UPrevail Events. Check their race information before you enter rather than assuming it either way.
: We don't hold a compulsory kit list for the Samaritans Way Trail Run. UPrevail Events confirm mandatory kit in their race information, usually in the final instructions.
: We don't hold published time limits for the Samaritans Way Trail Run. If UPrevail Events set cut-offs, they'll be in the race information.
: We don't hold a checkpoint list for the Samaritans Way Trail Run. What's on the table varies a lot between races, so check the UPrevail Events race information rather than turning up expecting food.
: Not yet — we don't hold a course file for the Samaritans Way Trail Run. Some organisers only send the GPX to entrants. If we get one, it goes up free, with no sign-up.
