My unrelated ‘namesake-forbear’ Alfred Wainwright authored illustrated books that enabled the walking wayfarer to know their folkloric place amongst the crags and nooks of the land – the land that outlives us all. His ashes were scattered by Innominate Tarn on Hay Stacks just adjacent to the famous Coast to Coast route.
“If you dear readers should get a bit of grit in your boots as you are crossing Hay Stacks in the years to come, please treat it with respect. It might be me.”
On 26th March 2026 Wainwright’s Coast to Coast was officially reborn as a National Trail to enable more people to navigate the classic route from St Bees in Cumbria to Robin Hood’s Bay in North Yorkshire. Traversers carry a pebble from Coast to Coast, a constant reminder of land we share, the air we breathe and the impact we bring with every step we take.
The C2C is a special journey. The typical west to east tailwind blows with it the whispers and ghostly gossips of a multitude of past wayfarer’s stories.
This story is a bit of my journey, alongside the interwoven footsteps and shadows of a group of hardy souls. We came together in the best way – through adversity – and in our collective desire to chase down life-affirming experiences.
The route ahead of us – 300K/185 miles, (29,500ft/9000M elevation). The collective purpose, like the classic chicken joke – to get to the other side.
It was an event that very appropriately rose from the ashes of another.
The demise of the popular Northern Traverse ultramarathon by Ourea Events came just two weeks before its due date on March 28th as administrators were called in. I had been expecting to take part. It came as a blow but with a litany of minor injuries dogging my prep – ankle, knee, abdomen, chest – the blow wasn’t as stark for me as it would be for others. Many were devastated, tuned up to a T, charities to support, bereavements to honour, previous failures to assuage, teenagers to escape! For me, well, I looked into the larder with dismay at the chocolate that I had bought for midrace calorie packing and would now donate to those more easily inclined to skinniness…
Not so Sue! My doughty friend Sue had lived through all the recces and raised funds for the Dyslexia Trust. This would be her biggest on foot adventure. So, she calmly hired a tracker and worked out a support plan to go alone, husband David in the car, family locations within a drivable respite from the route as it passes it most ominous landscapes – the Lake District fells.
Then, before Ourea’s receivers could start to even mouth the word phoenix, up from the brackish ashen turf sprung heroic event saviours, the stoic and ever-supportive Centurion Running led by James Elson and an inspirational pair called Kitty-Leigh Oxley and professional expedition leader David Keane (Core Adventures) who connected via Instagram and started a movement called Community Traverse.
There had been one event. There had been no event. Now there were 2 events.
Impressed by both, I signed for one of Centurion’s 30 trackers. I’d done Centurion’s Thames Path 100, but my true allegiance to James and his team was forged during Covid where Centurion had built an extraordinary virtual community. Appropriately for the Centurion name we would have a cut down century of hours in which to complete. We could make our own way, whether with crews or self-supported, with some basic safe dry havens to shelter in along the way. It was exactly what I like, self-management but with the back up of Centurion’s team keeping a watchful eye.
In the meantime, Community Traverse found a tracker sponsor and their wain started to roll. Their ‘support one other’ plan was morphing daily. First a desire to support the first 100k, known as the Lakes Traverse, then full distance 300K as well, then aid stations and drop bag systems appeared. Another event saviour called Keiran Hewkin had arrived in the background, sponsoring the base event costs and dealing with risk assessments and Public Liability. A formal event emerged.
Keiran I later discovered was motivated to bring his 24hr sofa delivery business, the appropriately named Swyft, into the mix with van and drivers, inspired by Kitty and David and in honour of his father who died unexpectedly in October. The Traverse had been the last challenge Kieran had been able to tell his Dad about…
Each day the event drew nearer and each day the Community team slotted in another bit of the jigsaw for keeping its now 70ish starters – around 30 Lakes Traverse and 40 full distance safely monitored on the trail.
The weather drew in too. Of course it did! James told our group that decisions as to whether to cross over the route high point, Kidsty Pike (in the Lakes) or the exposed Nine Standards (in the Dales) or take low alternatives would be make by Race Director Nici Griffin as the event unfurled. Decisions such as the direction of the gusting wind and the forecast nights of ice and snow would be crucial. Safety responsibility weighed heavily on the event organisers. What we did seem to know for sure was that Sunday – day 2 through remote terrain – would be relentlessly wet, icy cold and very windy…
As a participant we were all by now on WhatsApp groups, getting to know each other and the back office teams. In camp Centurion we sported people I knew of including Matt Neale a man charged with the anti-erosion slab laying project across the boggy Standards terrain, Hannah and Rhys Beddoe – Rhys being part of the event crucial Mountain Rescue Team based in Kirkby Stephen and legendary Wainwright Fell conqueror, Sabrina Verjee. Matt and Sabs were both taking part in my race! Hannah would later provide me with her very own Michelin Mountain Star Soup (Carrot and Cumin) before heading out into a full-on gale tailwind across Matt’s handhewn slabs, occasionally spotting what may well have been Matt and Sabs’ footprints to help guide my way across the terrain. It was, in my strained imagination at least, like following Wenceslas after the feast of Kirkby Stephen (sorry).
Over in the Community group Kitty and David’s god-tier communications were cranking through the gears creating an omnipresent aura as questions were answered, reassurances made and jokes engaged with. Some questions seemed to go unanswered for more than 30 seconds, but this was rare! Kitty had developed a series of ‘we’re in this together’ encouragement catchphrases. Extreme ultramarathons are by their nature humanising, an environment where you help each other through and it seemed right that the social leader of the Community should be Kitty, who describes herself as a ‘Gender Diverse Individual’, whose partner Sarah refers to by she/her pronouns but for whom other people’s comfort is the overriding motivation.
With Sue now in the care of the Community and me marching to the Centurion beat I felt at home in both groups. I loved Centurion’s intention and delivery of a raw and pared back traverse and also had the luxury of seeing Kitty and David’s online omnipresence become real. There was David rushing around making tea and handing me potatoes in Shap’s Memorial Hall (secured by Keiran, staffed by volunteers). And, as later revealed in runner blogs ‘suddenly Kitty popped up to guide my tired steps across the busy A19’ was typical. There again were Kitty and Sarah videoing the Community Traverse finishers, capturing my friend Sue as her pebble splashed into the frothy grey North Sea. We were stood outside the famous Wainwright Bar, also secured by the Community as a dry space to change at the end of the route, and sign the C2C book. Congratulating Sue and climbing the road, I soon found David, still somehow standing. The Swyft van had just dropped off the last few bags for those who had used that system.
The spirit of inclusivity benefited all who passed CT’s fairy-lit eddies. My friends Adrian and Samantha Martin had supported two runners from the North East, unaware of the Centurion or CT efforts. Runners Paul and Lena had superb knowledgeable crews but they, like us had the ‘anyone welcome’ options along the route, warm 24hr oases of blister-calming indulgence, liberally overstocked by the volunteer army that had sprung up in Kitty and David’s wake.
The same attitude of inclusivity was extended to the CT runners in terms of how they approached their event. They had competitive runners at the front but also people who stayed overnight to make their own stage race of it.
Completion rates were high for an event of such endurance, with 19 Centurions of 30 completing withing their 100 hours curfew. For CT I counted 29 finishers of the full distance, just 8 DNF. The last finishers took 107 hours or so. That’s a great result given the fully supported Northern Traverse by Ourea had allowed 113. I guess the event cancellation left a distillation of the most determined, but it is to Kitty, Keiran and David’s immense credit that so many reached journey’s end.
At the front Sabrina Verjee, Martin Wilson (both Centurion), Rory Bennett (Community) and James Elson (Centurion) beat 60 hours with a variety of crewed/uncrewed methods. My 80hrs 5 mins time was good enough for 11th Centurion finisher and 17th out of 51 finishers if counting collectively. I was pleased with my effort, walking it in with a very swollen foot. I had been over both high routes in grimly exhilarating conditions. I think CT called low routes for Kidsty Pike and Nine Standards whilst Centurion called ‘low’ for Kidsty at midnight, about an hour after my ascent. The Kidsty ascent was where bad luck then good luck came for me, bad luck with an electronics/navigation malfunction right on the summit, good luck when the calm and knowledgeable presence of Laura Close loomed out of the slanty weather and showed me the descent before I had to hunker down to route-reset my phone and watch. Laura kindly suffered my company for much of the next 24 hours.
At the midpack and back, heroics abounded with many great tales of banding together amongst us. I was struck by Eva Kriki’s comment that the end of the C2C was welcome but also came before she was ready for the magic to end. James Elson has said similar in his Centurion podcast, after is own DNF on the route at Shap in 2024, to realise he was going to make it under his own mix of self-sufficiency, kindness of strangers and crewing over the final stages had left with deserved elation. He too hadn’t quite wanted the event to end.
The collective experience has come to new light. A magnus opus of emotional words and blogs keep bubbling up. The conclusion? We have all done something right. Ultra distance runners often moan about the overcommercialisation of their simple sport, a process often tagged back to the UTMB organisation and their Ironman partners. Well, these events proved the antithesis of that and whilst Sea to Sea is a clear one off from a race organiser that can easily justify the fees it charges across its event portfolio there is ambition within Community Traverse to keep the spirit of their endeavour going sustainably. They have made such a formidable start.
Normally, at this point, I would give you my own story of the event, but such is the nature of this event that my job has been done for me there by multiple participants. The on-off-on nature of the event meant that the start line was populated by people keen to tell its story, which is thoroughly appropriate given that this was the Wainwright way. The blow-by-blow account form this Wainwright will be for another time.
So instead, I have written a guide to the people who have kindly talked to me, or whose words, blogs and podcasts are on record. I think doing it this way is in keeping with the collective spirit of this wonderful uplifting adventure.
The Cast
Original Routeway: Alfred Wainwright
The creator of the Coast-to-Coast route. I am related to famous Wainwrights but not this one – or at least no known connection has turned up yet. Nevertheless, our paths were meant to cross.
Alfred would quite likely have raised a quizzical eyebrow these full throttle crossings! But I would argue that by racing them overnight you get the witness the changes in the character of the landscape from benign to tempestuous.
As I have already intimated, he would surely approve of the storytelling that has sprung up post races.
The Graces of the Traverse: Kitty-Leigh Oxley and Sarah
Kitty’s remarkable omnipresence and indefatigable kindness has left a legacy of goodwill, a legend in dreams fulfilled, and a collective spirit that would light a beacon on the bleakest moor.
Her other half Sarah shares Kitty’s embrace of and faith in humanity. I posed for a photograph with Kitty as you would a celebrity. She is inestimable.
There are a multitude of blogs that tell her role in other people’s stories. The links are attributed to the event historians below.
And here’s a BBC article that speaks for what might be called the Kitty and David effect.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqxlew9vwxeo
Lead and Supporting Actor: Sabrina Verjee and Christine
Connecting post-race with ‘Sabs’ was a sparkling joy. Our elite event winner proved such a team player. She kept watching Sea to Sea intently until backmarker Daniel had staggered across the line, his self-supported 40L backpack giving him unprecedented volume. They finished 40 hours apart, but joined by the same ideals and ambitions. “Come on Daniel, get out of that lovely pub and get this done!” was just one Sabs-style words of ‘encouragement.’
But what had motivated such a renowned elite athlete to take on this revised low key event?
Sabrina told me about accepting her invitation to sign up by Shane of Ourea Events back in April 25. She did so. Then a knee tracking operation to realign her patella onto the correct neighbouring cartilage had been undertaken and she has since been rebuilding the mileage on her bike. An emotional journey was further complicated by her dad passing away after a 30-year battle with cancer in October releasing her 75 year old mum Christine from an everyday life of care.
Sabrina still has a metal plate in her knee that was due to be removed on March 27th. So, the demise of the Ourea event was received with sadness, but a shrug in the Verjee household.
Then misfortune for her surgeon – a skiing accident and her plate removal op postponed! This meant that James’ event, that he had shared in a La Sportiva chat group, could be on again and Sabrina decided she could at very least walk it.
It is a journey she knows well. Sabrina inspired many when she shut the doors on a cosy post-Christmas during COVID, and set out for a Winter Fastest Known Time on Boxing Day. “I was in good shape then”, she told me, though route variations aside, her time back then, and in winning this Sea to Sea event, were much the same. This time her 55.10.36 beat Martin Wilson by an hour and 20 mins. “Martin usually beats me”, she smiles, reflecting maybe her bike focussed training hadn’t been so bad after all.
Sabrina’s journey was crewed and this time it is husband Ben and mum Christine who have found their way around the remote car parks on the route with Voom Bars and battery packs to hand. Getting Christine involved and in the right places to help Sabs has been part of the fun and the event challenge. After mum missed her in Keld Sabrina expressed her delight at spotting the car parked up ahead of her, at Lordstones on the Moor via the Find My app. I was presented with the image of this fast striding ultra hero stalking around this night-abandoned campsite in search of her sleeping mum, knowing she must be parked there somewhere… “I had to think what would mum do, where would she park?” said Sabrina who finally tracked down the car, a drowsy Christine and the supplies she needed.
Sabrina had run with others until Shap, including James Elson before extending a lead to be solo to the finish. That felt lonely. She likes one to one or one to two style banter on the trail. She famously hated the queuing and grouping of UTMB. She enjoyed a finish this time along with two women who had just completed the C2C in stages, possibly years.
“It was a nice moment”, she reflects, before heading back uphill from the bay in search of an AWOL Christine again. “That uphill was hard!”, a comment that, to me showed she had given her all in those final stages, keeping her lead intact. I found the same – that return uphill was a big ask for my sore and freshly sea-salted feet.
Impressive Sabs fact – she kept her Wordle and Duolingo streaks going whilst howling her frustration at the uninspiring flat Vale of York roads between Danby Wiske and Ingleby.
Centurion Lead: James Elson
James puts everything out there literally and figuratively. In creating Sea to Sea and then running it, I saw the responsibility challenges of running Centurion up close. Sea to Sea was, as it must have felt, a reputational risk with a far less stringent set of organisational belt and braces in place compared to the Centurion norm.
As our leader, every instruction he gave us was clear. I treble checked my kit. It felt imperative not to let him down. And he was right, I needed all the gear I took with me.
As participants we also all understood our reporter role back Nici Griffin and team at HQ. Centurion HQ acknowledged our comments such as ‘stopping to sleep at the A19’ straight away.
James puts everything out there, literally, via podcasts and figuratively as a runner, so I don’t have to.
https://www.centurionrunning.com/podcast/weekly-ep31-sea-to-sea-300km-recap
Take a deep breath if you want to hear his journey. It is an hour and 20 mins of listen a lot of which is his gratitude and giving of due credit. The listen is rewarding if you want to hear a self-supported journey morph into one with a cosy pub rescue and ultimately a pally crewed 40 miles with Allie Bailey. It all adds up to a fine sporting performance, and I was left with the feeling that the emotional turmoil in delivering Sea to Sea had been worthwhile. I hope it was.
Community Lead: David Keane
David’s organisational style differs immensely from James’. James felt like the stoic Ceasar – we were true centurions – and David evoked Mark Anthony – ‘be a child o’the time.’ But to either I would willingly trust my safety, and with either I would love to share a beer.
David’s slogan at Core Adventures is “turning impossible ideas into executed reality”, a bold and vivid promise that he put on the line of risk and reward by stepping in here when a couple of Irish runners pointed him in the direction of Kitty.
Fittingly I saw David at Shap, 100K, where a sprightly version of him gave me tea. So, I knew that figure, though altered, at Robin Hood’s Bay.
Community Traverse was fizzling to its end. I was recuperating 24 hours after my finish. I spotted him, by a mini roundabout, a washed-out wallflower after the ceilidh…David. His fluorescent jacket was, after several sleepless nights, now bagging off his sagging shoulders. I introduced myself and he immediately sparked back into life. He gave me the fighting talk about the Community they had built in 2 weeks and the legacy of future events ahead. He also had warm words of praise for the shift put in by Swyft, the 2 van drivers who had just departed.
Our chat could have gone on for hours, but the spell was broken by duty as he saw two finishers edging up the hill and he busied off forage for their congratulations and drop bags.
I have no doubt David will build and broaden his community.
Original Adapted Routeway: James Thurlow
10 years ago, James Thurlow had the bright idea to adapt Wainwright’s C2C for a long ultra marathon and the Northern Traverse was born. It was a few years later when Ourea took over the event.
This year, as I neared the end of the route, Open Tracking contacted me to reset my tracker after a glitch. It was James. The penny dropped. The event originator had been represented on my shoulder the whole time as Open Tracking, run with business partner Chris Mills. Open Tracking is, and has always been, the Traverse provider, and here he was providing that safety service to both Sea to Sea and Community Traverse.
I spoke to James after the event. He’s proud of the event and its heritage and confident a sustainable and profitable event can be found for the event going forwards.
As we speak Community Traverse is already revealing its plans for the future.
Dot watching on Open Tracking is an epic experience. When James and Chris started out the original focus was safety and the addictive pleasure of seeing a dot you support creep across a landscape came as an unexpected bonus.
Open Tracking even linked the trackers to the live feed camera in Robin Hood’s Bay, my footsore stagger to the sea watched live by friends made on my 2024 Big Tour.
Set builder: Matt Neale
OK, set builder is no title for the area manager of the North of the Dales National Park, but it was certainly cool to have this hero of the trail’s maintenance actually on the race with us.
Gems of insight from Matt:
“The Nine Standards section has 3 statutory nature conservation designations, recognising the importance of the habitat and the species up there. Active erosion was taking place with one of the outcomes being eroding peat, releasing CO2. Peat covers 2% of the earth, but locks in double the CO2 than the world’s forest…So the flags are as much to conserve the habitat as they are to stop you getting your feet wet.”
Also
“The very first flags went up on Nine Standards about 10 years ago and we did 100 metres or so. We received a generous donation from the RD of the first two editions of the Northern Traverse (a certain James Thurlow) and matched that with several others. This also saw some peat restoration work. Hats off to James.”
Health and Safety Executives: Hannah and Rhys Beddoe
Rhys is part of the Mountain Rescue team based at Kirkby Stephen. Hannah, his wife is a Lake District wedding photographer (Hannah Hall Beddoe) and an official runner these days, with joining Mountain Rescue also an ambition. Hannah’s slippery slope towards helping people on slippery slopes started with a C2C walk last year, her progression to runner then sealed with the London Landmarks Half.
Speaking to Rhys after C2C he explained how a desire to help James with Sea to Sea support snowballed from home support into gaining permission to use the MRT hut and its drying facilities – a support that matched a support separate space already being provided in Kirkby by Community Traverse. On my journey I had 50 mins of valuable sleep there.
Kirkby Stephen is on the crossroads of the Pennine Way (Spine Race) and Coast to Coast. Rhys is the record holder for the Spine’s new MRT Challenger North event and will take part again next winter. He also used to teach the outdoors. Unsurprisingly these guardians of outdoor safety are themselves strong and capable outdoors.
I wanted to learn a bit about the MRTs.
Mountain Rescue is a volunteer organisation. The more they know in advance about any planned event the better as this equips them to head off potential issues rather than react to them. Every team is its own charity. The Kirkby Stephen team can be donated to locally, regionally (via Lake District Mountain Rescue Associations) or via Mountain Rescue England and Wales. They respond as a 999 service. You ask for Police first then Mountain Rescue if you are in serious trouble.
MRTs often work closely with events, suppling themselves as medical support as this can help events to make sensible decisions prior to participants putting themselves at risk, though ultimately all people are equals in the rescue support they provide.
Executive Producer for Community: Keiran Hewkin
If ever there a more modest or more hands-on sponsor than Keiran and his furniture company Swyft I would like to see it.
CEO Keiran, a passionate mountain explorer filled the gap Community Traverse initially had vs. Centurion, someone who knew how to fix Public Liability Insurance in time and who could Risk Assess the support requirements as the Community project grew into an event. Not only that but he was able to fund the various room hires along the route and provide vans and staff for a drop bag service.
Kieran’s own event reflections thanked James Elsom and also Andy Clark of Cold Brew Events for helping with risk assessments.
Keiran’s ambitions were two fold – to create the conditions for his own safe passage, running in his Dad’s memory, whilst enabling others to do the same.
Swyft would not – could not in many ways – be seen to be supporting to sell sofas – and few runners will have left knowing much about the brand. But it was a very appropriate sponsor to have on board – as this business magazine article outlines. Swyft’s principle is to make things easy for its customers.
Speaking with Keiran post-event he told me he would repeat support for future Community Traverses, determined that the few intense days of pulling the event together would leave a forwards legacy.

Hero Quote: “Getting to Shap was long as I had to navigate Kidsty Pike, it was dark, and I was tired. However, it was amazing as there was snow! It was crunchy and a moment of magic. I was totally alone; the night was peaceful, and I loved it! I had just ticked off one of the big climbs solo and navigated all by myself.”

Hero Quote “Those last miles can feel endless, legs heavy, mind tired. So, to be greeted by a trail icon with a warming smile, encouraging words and a hug reset my stride. Seeing that sea emosh. I made it, me and my pebble. This adventure was so made for me.”
Richard Stillion
https://richyla.wordpress.com/sea-to-sea-300km/
“So, the up and downiness began over the four sisters – Carlton Moor, Cringle Moor, Cold Moor and Hasty Bank and the wonderful rocks of the Wain Stones. It was now dark as I climbed Carr Ridge to one of the most tedious parts of the Moors. The path is okay, but it leads to a cleared railway track which goes on for hours. When tired and it’s dark, one is practically sleep-walking.”
Alex Atkinson
Hero quote: “But no, the email was titled “Northern Traverse 2026 – Event Cancelled”. I thought I was being pranked, it can’t be real. I started to read the email, my heart sank. I was speechless, lost. All that hard training, now worthless. All the money spent on the race entry, additional kit. Thousands of pounds gone, kaput!
It took a few days for the bad news to sink in, before thoughts a solo attempt of the Northern Traverse went through my mind.”
Paul Telford
I don’t think Paul Telford’s account has a home on the Internet. It’s a brilliant write up so here’s a long hero quote/extract:
“Our next indoor stop is at a campsite laundry room. As mentioned Centurion had quickly got this event off the ground and found whatever indoor space they could, in this case the laundry room. I’m pretty tired now and really need to sort my feet, dry kit, sleep and then eat. We find the room and I meet one of the guys I’d shared a lift with to St Bees. He’s just departing having had a 3 hour stop and seems to be ok. The room is spartan but it’s out the weather so at least I can sleep for a bit.
I sort my kit and find a spot on the floor, strip off my wet kit and get in my sleeping bag, my feet are in a mess now. My heels and toes are white, and both left and right forefoot have blistered skin across their entire widths. I figure let them dry out and air for a while then I’ll deal with this new horror.
Just as I’m dozing off there is a clatter and commotion which wakes me. One of the Community Traverse volunteers has come in and is saying guys come down to our check point we have hot food, beds and its warm! I look at Dave and it takes all of 2 seconds to make a decision, so I scoop up all my kit, stick my feet in my shoes and dash down the high street in the pouring rain half dressed with everything just bundled up in my arms. I must have looked a right sight!
A couple of minutes later I’m into the CT check point and sat on a chair in the warm. A volunteer comes over and offers me a brew and food which I gratefully accept. My kit explodes again and gets put out to dry, then I’m off for a sleep on a blow-up mattress. Of course I’m out like a light.”
Daniel Podzimek
Hero quote: “In a world where corporate interest and profit are central, those two events of the weekend (Centurion and the Community Traverse) proved something way more valuable. Quite frankly, I would go as far as to say they restored my faith in humanity. This was for the people, by the people. A passion project. Back to the roots. Nothing to be gained financially, but so much spiritually and emotionally. My heart is full.”
Community Event Historians:
Rory Bennett
Hero quote “This was a painfully slow section – I was constantly falling asleep while walking. Nothing could keep me awake for long – I tried music, coffee, endlessly eating, checking for messages from home, shouting at myself in the dark, nothing was working. I decided to curl up in a ball on the grass in a small wooded area to kick start my body. I set my alarm for 10 minutes time. I drifted to sleep after 5 minutes and instantly jolted myself awake not knowing where I was.”

Hero quote:
“David [Keane] did his usual job of managing me (taking my backpack off etc.) as I was just not thinking for myself and very kindly summed up how he thought my race had gone.
He told me that he thought I remained mentally strong throughout, “every time I talked to you even when your feet were a mess, you took the information in and then just got on with the job in hand”. I’d say that is probably quite an accurate summation of my approach to a lot of the longer races.”
