The North Yorks Challenge 2026 is a brand-new entry to the Ultra Challenge Series, taking place on 20–21 June 2026 from a basecamp on Scarborough seafront. The signature route loops 100 km through some of England's most dramatic scenery: north along the Cleveland Way coastal path through Robin Hood Bay to Whitby (the 50 km halfway stop, below the famous abbey), then inland along the Esk Valley into the heart of the North York Moors, through Moors Park Forest and the Tabular Hills Walk back to Scarborough — over 2,250 m of climb in total. Four distances (100 km, 50 km, 25 km, 10 miles) cater for all levels; solo or team entry, walk/jog/run format. The 100K and 50K are ITRA-certified and count as UTMB Index races. Timing and live tracking: LiveTrail.
