The 10 most beautiful runs in Pennines

Running · North West England
SILVA Dales Traverse 2024 final
Difficulty difficult
52.7 km
11:10 h
1,368 m
1,485 m
The SILVA Dales Traverse™ is a 55km ultra following Wainwright’s coast to coast route from Kirby Stephen to Richmond. The event has an adventurous ethos and culture of self-sufficient. Following the same route as SILVA Northern Traverse™, the Dales Traverse™ starts from Kirkby Stephen, passes through the North Pennines Area of Outstanding National Beauty, over the iconic Nine Standards, and into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park weaving through Swaledale to a stunning finish below Richmond Castle. This is an achievable and beautiful ultra and a great stepping stone for those aspiring to enter the SILVA Moors™ or Lakes Traverse™. We want to make this the best ultra you have ever done! We can’t take credit for the route, this is down to Alfred Wainwright – but he got it right, which is why the coast to coast route is Britain’s most popular long distance path.

The start of the Northern Traverse™ in 2022
Running · North West England
SILVA Northern Traverse 2024 final
Difficulty difficult
290.5 km
65:40 h
6,527 m
6,561 m
The SILVA Northern Traverse™ is a 300km ultra following Wainwright’s coast to coast route from St Bees to Robin Hood’s Bay. The event has a strong adventurous ethos and culture of self-sufficient. Beginning at St Bees on the west coast, the route crosses the north of England through three National Parks finishing in Robin Hood’s Bay on the east coast. Taking in iconic mountains, valleys, moors and ~6,500m of ascent, the SILVA Northern Traverse™ is one of the most spectacular journeys in the UK. We want to make this the best ultra you have ever done! We can’t take credit for the route, this is down to Alfred Wainwright – but he got it right, which is why it is Britain’s most popular long distance path.
