SilverBackTrails Lilla’s Revenge - North York Moors

SilverBackTrails Lilla’s Revenge is a 10-mile trail running event on the North York Moors National Park held on Sunday 13 September 2026. The route follows part of the Lykewake Walk long-distance footpath and visits Lilla Howe, site of Lilla Cross, and Louven Howe, believed to be a Neolithic or Bronze Age long barrow. Runners will pass moorland and ridge sections with views toward Whitby, Ravenscar, Scarborough Castle, the Wolds and Blakey Ridge.

The start is at the lay-by on the A171 above Jugger Howe (grid reference NZ 945002). Entry is limited to 50 participants, minimum age 18, and entries are accepted only via SiEntries; there are no entries on the day. There is ample parking at the start and a £1 per car parking charge will be collected and donated to the National Park. There is a 3 hour time limit. Finishers receive a specially commissioned medal; water, cola and sweets are available at the finish but participants should be self-sufficient during the event. Navigation aids include a master map at registration plus some flags and marshals, yet participants are expected to navigate the course themselves. Required minimum kit includes a waterproof jacket with taped seams or Paramo, hat and gloves, a spare thermal top or jacket, emergency bivvy bag, 500 ml fluid, at least 60 g of food, a charged mobile phone with What3words or OS Locate/OS Maps advised, a working compass, OL 27 OS Map or Harvey’s map of the North Yorkshire Moors, and a cup for drinks.
