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.

Both the male and female records were broken on Saturday 2nd April at the 2022 SILVA Lakes Traverse, a 100km ultra race starting in St Bees and ending in Shap.

On Friday evening and Saturday morning, participants gathered in the usually quiet village of St Bees for the start of the SILVA Northern Traverse & Lakes Traverse as registration opened.

Competition is set to be fierce for the 2022 editions of the SILVA Northern Traverse and SILVA Lakes Traverse beginning this Saturday 2nd April. The field at the SILVA Northern Traverse is heavily stacked with top ultra-runners, with past winners of both the men’s and women’s events returning to defend their titles. It’s shaping up to be a very exciting event!

Join the journey and keep up with all the action from the 2022 SILVA Northern Traverse & SILVA Lakes Traverse.

Here is how you can follow this phenomenal adventure from St Bees to Robin Hood’s Bay across the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.

We are thrilled to say that leading outdoor navigation brand SILVA has signed up as title sponsor of the Northern Traverse and Lakes Traverse for the next three years.

Hello 2022 participants!

At the end of last year, we announced that Ourea Events would take on the management and organisation of the Northern Traverse and Lakes Traverse. Since then, we have had lots of emails and messages from participants about the event with suggestions, comments, and questions.
