A 55 km (34 mile) point-to-point race from Kirkby Stephen to Richmond forming the Dales leg of the Coast to Coast line, with around 1,400 m of ascent. The route links valley tracks, field paths and higher bridleway sections, with climbing that accumulates through repeated rises across the day. Underfoot conditions are mixed and can include softer ground depending on weather. The organiser’s website should be used for confirmation of marking/GPX navigation and any aid station arrangements.
