Whitby, United Kingdom • 22 Feb 2026
Event overview
SilverBackTrails Lilla’s Revenge is a 10-mile trail running event on the North York Moors National Park on Sunday 22 February 2026. The route follows part of the Lykewake Walk long-distance footpath and visits Lilla Howe, the site of Lilla Cross, and Louven Howe, a possible Neolithic/Bronze Age long barrow burial site. The course runs past Jugger Beck and up onto Jugger Moor and offers views toward Whitby, Ravenscar, Scarborough Castle, the Wolds, Blakey Ridge and the East Cleveland coast. The route will be shown on a master map at registration; there will be some flags and marshals, but participants are expected to navigate themselves.
Each finisher will receive a bespoke medal. There will be water, cola and sweets at the finish. Participants must be self-sufficient during the event. A time limit of 3 hours applies.
