Gary Thwaites - Hardmoors 200 Champ #223

Ten years ago, Gary popped his 100‑mile cherry on the Cleveland Way. Countless miles have been covered between then and now, but after a bit of refocusing found himself back on a start line, this time for the Hardmoors 200.

Starting in Hull, the route winds through wooded slopes, over rolling hills, and down into deep valleys, before eventually climbing onto the northern escarpment and dropping toward the final stretch of the Wolds Way. At Filey you join the stunning 110‑mile Cleveland Way National Trail.

Over the course of the weekend, Gary’s race evolved from simply getting the job done to suddenly finding himself in pole position… and then hanging on for dear life as the pack closed in.
