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, following part of the Lykewake Walk long-distance footpath. The route visits Lilla Howe, the site of Lilla Cross, and Louven Howe, thought to be a Neolithic or Bronze Age long barrow burial site.

The course drops to Jugger Beck and climbs again onto Jugger Moor, with extensive views toward the coast at Whitby, Ravenscar, Scarborough Castle, the Wolds and Blakey Ridge toward East Cleveland. The route is waymarked with some flags and marshals, but participants are expected to navigate themselves using the master map provided at registration.

Organisers set a time limit of three hours. Each finisher receives a bespoke medal commissioned for the event. Entry is limited to 50 participants and all entrants must be at least 18 years old. Entries are managed through SiEntries and there are strictly no entries on the day. An entry fee applies.

Competitors must carry minimum kit as specified by the organisers, including a waterproof jacket with taped seams unless Paramo, hat and gloves, a spare thermal top or jacket for emergency use, an emergency bivvy bag, at least 500 ml of fluid, at least 60 g of food, a fully charged mobile phone with What3words or OS mapping advised, a working compass, an OL 27 OS map or Harvey’s map of the North Yorkshire Moors, and a cup for drinks. There is ample parking at the start location with a small on-site parking charge donated to the National Park. Canine running partners are permitted if kept on a short lead.
