Cleveland Survival 2026

Cleveland Survival 2026 takes place on Saturday 28 March 2026 in the North York Moors, with the precise location released about one week before the event. The event is organised by the Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team and is a fundraising event for that organisation. This will be the 41st running of the Survival and occurs during the 60th year of the Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team.

Event details

The event is based on an orienteering course with a single route of around 24 miles, to be completed within a set time limit. Participants must visit a series of checkpoints in the order given on the route card; checkpoints are identified by grid reference and description. Checkpoints are manned by Search and Rescue personnel, with drinks available at some checkpoints and a hot meal provided for all at the finish. Dogs are not allowed.

Entries opened 6 November 2025 and close 21 March 2026. The entry fee is £30. Entries recorded so far are 31 participants.

Essential kit is listed as map and compass, emergency food, survival bag, whistle, windproofs and full waterproofs. Participants are asked to bring a mug for drinks at pit stops. The organisers note that the route crosses high and low moorland and that navigation and self-care are required due to possible inclement weather.
