Jon Steele, the organiser of the Hardmoors 110 mile ultra announced today (in the West Highland Way race forum) that he's in the process of organising a Hardmoors 55 for Feb/Mar time next year. It's going to be the first section of the Cleveland Way from Helmsley towards Saltburn.
There's also the possibility that later in the year (but before the Hardmoors 110) he'll organise an event over the second half of the route.
The website has not been built yet but it would be worth keeping an eye on the 110 site for more announcements if this kind of thing tickles your fancy.
I've got no connection with the event, I just think it's a bl**dy good idea. :D
Hardmoors fun run sounds a good idea. Would be a chance for time on the feet for later in the year ;)
Provisional date Saturday March 20th 2010.
I'd love to do the 2nd part of this in particular.
nb. I am an ex-native of Scarboro, so whenever I'm back, a fave run is up the Railway line or Cleveland Way to Whitby, and then get the bus back.
Agreed - I'd like to give the full lot a go but it's timing doesn't seem to fit in ... this however, would be perfect...Quote:

Yah the date I beleive is the 20th March (Thick snow last year around this area if I remember right) I think there will be an option of, for a small charge a coach from the finish to the start before the race (so you can park up be taken to the start and crawl back into your car at the end,) and a drop bag option, so runners can run either unsupported or supported. I also beleive there is talk about finishing at Guisborough rather than Saltburn, to avoid running through housing estates in Skelton and getting into scraps with chavs and crossing busy roads. (sounds good to me, the more time off roads the better) I also have heard (ok im a nosey bugger) ;)that it could be in the runfurther series:D
Either way count me in, planning on running this, the Woldsman, A Bob Graham Round, the Lakeland 100 and the TMB again IN 2010, may just support a mate rather than run the Hardmoors this year, very tempted though will see what state Im in, in September:eek:
Leaving the whw this year to do the Bob Graham, but was tempted by the LDWA Heart of Scotland 100.
Just had a chance meet and a chat with the chap organising the Half Moor 55, he was working with a friend of mine in one of my local outdoor shops and he introduced me. More info should be out in the next few days and a website, few changes from the original posting... I'm definitely in :)Quote:
