North Yorks Ultra Challenge 2026

Push yourself further and achieve something really special to Beat Macular Disease.

Based at Scarborough, this stunning coastal and moorland challenge can be tackled at your own pace as a walk, jog, or run and fundraise for the Macular Society!

The route heads around the town and then north along the Cleveland Way, following a beautiful coastline through Robin Hood Bay to Whitby, with a welcome halfway stop for 50km participants.

For those taking on the full 100km challenge, the route continues along the Esk Valley before heading south through classic moorland scenery, returning to Scarborough basecamp.

Sign up as an individual or as part of a team – you’ll get full support all the way, with plenty of food and drink, optional camping and transfers, a special medal, t-shirt and celebration finish.

With 50km, 25km and 10-mile options also available, there’s a challenge for everyone!

This event is part of the Ultra Challenge Series: 21 amazing events where you can walk, jog, or run your chosen distance in some of the UK’s most iconic locations. Other fundraising options are available, see the organiser’s website for details.

This event is organised by Action Challenge.
