Traverse Mail™ – Northern Traverse participants ONLY!
From the live GPS tracking page, friends and family can also use the Traverse Mail™ service to send a short message to individual participants - this is possible throughout the event.
How to send Traverse Mail?
Look for the envelope icon on the live GPS tracking page
(top left of the screen on a desktop | top of screen on mobile device)
The course through the fells, dales and moors is often remote, so participants should not expect regular phone service. These Traverse Mail™ messages can be collected by participants at select support points.
Please note that all messages will be displayed publicly on the GPS Tracking page.
Service available from Race Start at 08:30 Saturday 6th April 2024!

How can I see the 2024 results so far?
The 2024 results will be updated here once the race begins:
Please note the following:
Retired in the results means the participant is no longer in the race. They have taken the decision to not continue on the course. This could be for any number of reasons, such as injury, illness or simply exhaustion.
Please be assured that if someone you know is timed-out or drops out of the race then we will look after them and make sure they get off the course safely. We will also help them to get to the nearest transport hub if needed.
Our race control, mountain safety and medical teams are on hand to deal with every possible scenario.
