SilverBackTrails Wade's Revenge

SilverBackTrails are back with Wade's Revenge on Sunday 21 February 2027, a trail running half marathon that takes you deep into the North York Moors National Park. It starts and finishes at Levisham Village Hall, and the course takes you through the Hole of Horcum, one of the most recognisable landmarks in the Moors. The field is capped at 50 participants, and you've a five-hour time limit to get it done.

They've got the support sorted along the way: flapjacks, crisps, sweets, water and pop are served at two checkpoints, and the finish is rounded off with tea, coffee, soup and a roll. Dogs are welcome on a lead, though they start behind the runners. There's a technical T-shirt available for £18, but the kit list is the thing you'll really need to pay attention to. It's strictly enforced, so you'll need a waterproof jacket with taped seams, a hat, a buff or gloves, an emergency bivvy bag, a spare long-sleeved insulating top, and a charged mobile phone with mapping. You'll also need at least 500ml of fluid and 120g of emergency food, plus a working compass and either an OS Explorer 27 or a Harvey's North Yorkshire Moors map.

Entry is £23, with entries opening on 2 March 2026 and closing on 18 February 2027. Parking is right next to the village hall at £1 per car. Levisham Village Hall is on Main Street in Levisham, Pickering, YO18 7NL, in the North York Moors National Park near Scarborough.
