Northern Traverse Acknowledgement
I am passionate about organising brilliant running events, and my measure for success is quite simple: what would I like to have experienced if I were taking part?…
2022 SILVA Northern Traverse – Event Director’s report
Now let’s fast forward over the next 3 months, when the Ourea Events team and I excitedly prepared for our first Northern Traverse race. The handover from James and his team at Open Adventure was faultless, but nothing beats the experience of organising the event for yourself. We have all been acutely aware of some uncertainties in our own planning, and conscious of the unknowns lying ahead of us.
2022 SILVA Lakes Traverse - Event Director’s Report
This report will focus on the SILVA Lakes Traverse. The SILVA Northern Traverse Event Director’s Report will be shared in the next few days. You’ll need to read both to get a full and rounded view of the entire event week.
And that’s a wrap: amazing displays of endurance as last finishers cross the line at SILVA Northern Traverse
It’s been an incredible final day of running, as the last finishers have made it to Robin Hood’s Bay well ahead of the cut-off time. The standard of running has been superb, with both the men’s and women’s records being broken by a huge margin, and all 104 finishers making it in well within the final cut-off.
Three time’s a charm for those returning to the SILVA Northern Traverse
The 2022 edition of the SILVA Northern Traverse, a challenging continuous race that follows Wainwright’s famous Coast to Coast route, is the third edition of this event. This year, several dedicated ultra-runners have come back to run it for the third time, having now participated in every single race since its inception.
Lifelong friendships and tales of adventure on day four of the SILVA Northern Traverse
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.
Record-breaking wins for first man and woman in SILVA Northern Traverse
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.
