Silverbacktrails - Lilla’s Revenge

SilverBackTrails Lilla’s Revenge

SilverBackTrails Lilla’s Revenge is a 10 mile trail running event on the North York Moors National Park. The route follows part of the Lykewake Walk long distance footpath and visits Lilla Howe, the site of Lilla Cross, and Louven Howe, a presumed Neolithic or Bronze Age long barrow. Runners pass Jugger Beck and climb onto Jugger Moor, with wide views toward Whitby, Ravenscar, Scarborough Castle, the Wolds, Blakey Ridge and the East Cleveland coast.

Each finisher receives a specially commissioned medal. The event has a three hour time limit and entry is limited to 50 participants. All competitors must be at least 18 years old. Entries are managed via SiEntries and there are no entries on the day.

Participants should be self sufficient during the roughly 10 mile course; water, cola and sweets are provided at the finish only. Competitors are expected to navigate themselves with some flags and marshals to aid navigation; the route will be shown on a master map at registration. Required minimum kit includes a waterproof jacket with taped seams unless Paramo, hat and gloves, a spare thermal top or jacket for emergency, an emergency bivvy bag, 500 ml of fluid, at least 60 g of food, a fully charged mobile phone with What3words or OS map apps advised, a working compass, an OL27 OS map or Harvey’s map of the North Yorkshire Moors, and a cup for drinks.

The event start is at the lay-by on the A171 above Jugger Howe at grid reference NZ 945002. Parking is available at the start and a £1 per car donation will be collected for the National Park. Canine companions are allowed on short leads or harnesses and dog powered entrants start five minutes after the main field with an adjusted three hour limit.
