About the race
Lyke Wake Challenge is a 40-mile point-to-point endurance event from Osmotherley to Ravenscar, run by the Quakers Running Club. The route covers moorland, trails, and some road, finishing in the grounds of Raven Hall at Ravenscar. Runners pass seven checkpoints (Carlton Bank, Clay Bank, the Lion Inn, Hamer, Stape, Ellerbeck, Jugger Howe) where drinks and snacks are available, with extra food at the Lion Inn.
The race is run on a handicap basis using previous times, and the course is not marked, so familiarity with the Lyke Wake route is essential. The event is volunteer-run, safety-focused in remote terrain, and supports charity donations; finishers receive a commemorative technical T-shirt and trophies. Participants must carry mandatory kit and a personal drinking container. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
