Overview
The Hardmoors 60 is a 101-kilometer trail race in Guisborough, United Kingdom, held in September. With 8200 meters of elevation gain over 101 kilometers, its 81 meters of climb per kilometer makes it a significantly hillier course than most 100k races.
The 18-hour time limit results in a cutoff pace of 10.7 minutes per kilometer, which is tighter than 45% of comparable 100k races. This leaves less margin for error or extended breaks than nearly half of its peers.
With 174 finishers in its latest edition, this race has a larger field than 85% of 100k races. The Hardmoors 60 has been organized by Hardmoors110 for 10 editions since 2013, with the most recent running in 2023.
