Silverbacktrails - Lilla’s Revenge

Event overview

SilverBackTrails Lilla’s Revenge is a 10-mile trail running event on the North York Moors National Park, held on 13 September 2026. The route follows part of the Lykewake Walk long-distance footpath and visits Lilla Howe, home to Lilla Cross, and Louven Howe, a suspected Neolithic/Bronze Age long barrow. The course passes Jugger Beck and Jugger Moor and offers views toward Whitby, Ravenscar, Scarborough Castle, the Wolds and Blakey Ridge toward the East Cleveland coast. There is a described "sting in the trail" shortly before the finish. Each finisher receives a bespoke medal. A 3-hour time limit applies.

Entry, logistics and safety

Entries are limited to 50 participants, handled via SiEntries only; there are no entries on the day. The entry fee is £20. Minimum age is 18. Participants must be self-sufficient during the event; finish provision includes water, cola and sweets. The start location is at the lay-by on the A171 where the Lykewake Walk crosses the road (grid reference NZ 945002). There is ample parking at the start; a £1 per car charge will be collected on the day and donated to the National Park.

Mandatory minimum kit includes a waterproof jacket with taped seams (unless Paramo), hat and gloves, spare thermal top, emergency bivvy, 500 ml fluid, at least 60 g food, a fully charged mobile phone with What3words or OS Locate/OS Maps advised, a working compass, OL27 or Harvey’s map of the North Yorkshire Moors, and a cup for drinks. Some flags and marshals will aid navigation but participants are expected to navigate themselves. Canine running partners are allowed on a short lead or harness; dog-powered entries start five minutes after the rest of the field and their time limit is adjusted accordingly.
