Lyke Wake Challenge

The Lyke Wake Challenge is a 40-mile endurance event organized by the Quakers Running Club, taking participants from Osmotherley to Ravenscar in North Yorkshire. The race involves varied terrains, including moors, hills, and trails, with checkpoints offering drinks and snacks. Participants must carry mandatory kit for safety, and the event is held on a handicap basis, with a maximum completion time of 12 hours.
