The challenge

A basecamp in Scarborough and a stunning coastal and moorland challenge, which you can take it on at your pace as a walk, jog, or run while fundraising for Alzheimer's Society! The route heads around the town and then north on the Cleveland Way, with a stunning coastline up through Robin Hood Bay and onwards to Whitby and a halfway stop. 

For full 100km challengers, it’s along the Esk Valley before heading south into classic moorland scenery, and back to Scarborough basecamp. 

Sign up as an individual or as a team - you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food and drink, optional camping and transfers, a special medal, t-shirt and celebration finish. With 50km, 25km & 10-mile options also available – there’s a challenge for everyone!
