Although the first finishers are now in, there are still many runners out on the course. Today and yesterday, runners will have been crossing the North York Moors, a hugely varied section, involving woodland, bogs, well-maintained trails and a fun scramble up the Wainstones. From here, participants travelling in daylight will get good views of the Matterhorn of the North East, Roseberry Topping, and will catch their first glimpse of the North Sea, their final destination.

Kim Collison is the winner of the SILVA Northern Traverse after arriving in Robin Hood’s Bay at 6:54 this morning. He took just 44 hours and 24 minutes to get from St Bees to Robin Hood’s Bay on the other side, beating the previous record by an impressive 7 hours.

Runners on the SILVA Northern Traverse have now completed their second day of running as they head into the night for a second time.

Today, many runners crossed the Yorkshire Dales section of the route.
