North Yorks Ultra Challenge
The event is centered at a Scarborough basecamp and offers multi-day trail distances across coastal and moorland terrain. The route runs around Scarborough and its beaches, follows the Cleveland Way north through Robin Hood Bay to Whitby, and for the full 100 km goes inland along the Esk Valley and then south across moorland and forest to return via the Tabular Hills Walk.
Distances available include:
- 100 km
- 50 km
- 25 km
- Whitby 10 mile
Rest stops and support are provided regularly along the route, with snack points approximately every 12.5 km and meal stops about every 25 km. Major rest stops are located at roughly 25 km, 50 km, 75 km and 100 km and include covered areas, toilets, medical support and baggage pick up. Medical, podiatry and massage teams are present at stops and along the route, and a self help area offers basic supplies for minor injuries.
Participants have access to an event app with GPS route maps and live tracking, and a timing system records progress at rest stops. Camping packages are offered at the basecamp with facilities such as hot showers, drinks stations and chill out areas. Shuttle services and parking are arranged for attendees and supporters.
