Across the weekend of 20–21 June 2026, the North Yorks Ultra Challenge turns Scarborough into a coastal-and-moorland endurance hub, with a fully supported trail route that walkers, joggers and runners can tackle at their own pace. Starting from Scarborough basecamp, the main loop heads around the town and beaches, past Scarborough Castle and then north along the Cleveland Way, tracing dramatic cliffs through Robin Hood’s Bay to Whitby, which serves as the halfway hub for the longer options. Full 100 km challengers then swing inland, following the Esk Valley and crossing classic North York Moors landscapes and forest tracks before rejoining the Tabular Hills Walk back to Scarborough. Participants can choose from the headline 100 km, a 50 km coastal leg, a 25 km quarter loop, or a shorter 10-mile coastal challenge, all on predominantly trail terrain with notable elevation and big sea views. With rest stops, food and drink, medical and massage support, camping options and a lively finish-line celebration, it’s designed as a fully supported adventure rather than a traditional race.
