North Yorks Ultra Challenge : Scarborough to Whitby and back
The event is based in Scarborough and offers multiple trail distances around the North Yorkshire coast and moors. Routes follow the coastline and the Cleveland Way through Robin Hood Bay to Whitby, with the full 100 km route continuing inland along the Esk Valley and across moorland before returning via Moors Park Forest and the Tabular Hills Walk.
Support and logistics are provided throughout the route. Covered rest stops are placed approximately every 12.5 km with major stops at about 25 km, 50 km, 75 km and 100 km. Rest stops include seating, toilets, medical areas, changing facilities, baggage pick up and catering. Snacks are offered every 12.5 km and a meal roughly every 25 km; hot drinks, water and energy drinks are available and dietary requirements are catered for. Medical teams include doctors, paramedics, first aiders, podiatrists and masseuses.
Navigation and timing use a fully signed route with pink arrows plus GPS tracking via the event app; rest stop timing scans log progress. Overnight camping packages are available at the Scarborough basecamp and optional camping at Whitby for two-day options. The event also provides shuttle transfers and parking. Entry categories include Ultra March for walkers with time targets, and Trailblazerz for faster competitive runners. Participants receive a finisher medal, t-shirt and a finish-line celebration.
