Silverbacktrails - Lilla’s Revenge

SilverBackTrails Lilla’s Revenge

This is a 10-mile trail running event on the North York Moors National Park, following part of the Lykewake Walk long-distance footpath. The route visits Lilla Howe and Lilla Cross and passes Louven Howe, a site believed to be a Neolithic or Bronze Age long barrow. The course goes down to Jugger Beck and climbs onto Jugger Moor, with extensive views toward Whitby, Ravenscar, Scarborough Castle, the Wolds, Blakey Ridge and the East Cleveland coast. Each finisher receives a specially commissioned medal and there is a short, additional obstacle on the trail before the finish.

The event start is at the lay-by on the A171 above Jugger Howe at grid reference NZ 945002. Entries are limited to 50 participants, restricted to those aged 18 or older, and are accepted only via the SiEntries system; there are no entries on the day. The entry fee is £20. Parking is available at the start and a £1 per car charge will be collected for donation to the National Park. A technical event T shirt is available to purchase via the club shop for £18.

Participants are expected to self-navigate with some flags and marshals to assist; a master map is provided at registration. A three hour time limit applies. Mandatory minimum kit includes a waterproof jacket with taped seams unless Paramo, hat and gloves, a spare thermal top or jacket, an emergency bivvy bag, 500 mls of fluid, at least 60 grams of food, a fully charged mobile phone (What3words and OS Locate or OS Maps advised), a working compass, OL27 OS Map or Harvey’s Map of the North Yorkshire Moors, and a cup for drinks.
