Lyke Wake Challenge

The Lyke Wake Challenge is a renowned running event organized by the Quakers Running Club, covering a 40-mile route from Osmotherley to Ravenscar. Scheduled for July 12, 2025, the challenge operates on a handicap basis, allowing participants to estimate their completion times. Runners navigate a rugged, unmarked course with seven checkpoints providing refreshments.

Safety is paramount, with mandatory kit requirements and a full kit check at registration. The event supports local charities, donating a portion of entry fees to mountain rescue teams. Finishers receive a commemorative t-shirt, and trophies are awarded to top performers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
