Silverbacktrails - Lilla’s Revenge

SilverBackTrails Lilla’s Revenge

SilverBackTrails Lilla’s Revenge is a trail running event held on moorland in the North York Moors National Park. The route covers approximately 10 miles along part of the Lykewake Walk long-distance footpath and visits Lilla Howe, the site of Lilla Cross, plus Louven Howe, a presumed Neolithic or Bronze Age long barrow.

The course passes Jugger Beck and climbs onto Jugger Moor, offering wide views toward Whitby, Ravenscar, Scarborough Castle, the Wolds, Blakey Ridge and the East Cleveland coast. Navigation is primarily the responsibility of participants; there will be some flags and marshals and a master map will be available at registration.

There is a three hour time limit. All competitors must carry a minimum set of kit 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 Locate or OS Maps advised, a working compass, an OL 27 OS Map or Harvey’s Map of the North Yorkshire Moors, and a cup for drinks.

Entries are limited to 50 participants, restricted to people aged 18 or older, and must be submitted in advance via the event entry system. A bespoke finisher medal is awarded to each finisher. There is ample parking at the start lay-by with a small parking charge donated to the National Park. Dogs on short leads are permitted with a staggered start and adjusted time limit for dog runners.
