Cleveland Survival
The Cleveland Survival is an orienteering based route open to runners and walkers. The single route is around 24 miles and must be completed within a set time limit. Competitors follow a route card and visit a series of checkpoints in the order given; each checkpoint is identified by a grid reference and a description.
The event can be completed individually or as part of a group. Checkpoints are manned by Search and Rescue personnel; drinks are available at some checkpoints and a hot meal is provided for all at the finish. Participants are asked to bring a mug to reduce landfill. Dogs are not allowed.
Organisers list the following kit as essential: map and compass, emergency food, survival bag, whistle, windproofs and full waterproofs. The event supports the Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team and is one of their major fundraisers. Precise event location in the North York Moors is released about one week before the event.
Entries open and close on specified dates and there is an entry fee. This edition will be the 42nd running of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
