Set out from basecamp in Scarborough onto the Cleveland Way, past Scarborough Castle and charming Robin Hood’s Bay before reaching the 50km mark in the shadows of Whitby Abbey. For full 100km Challengers you’ll head back towards Scarborough along the Esk Valley and classic moorland scenery. The 10 mile and 25km Loops start and finish in Whitby – one of the most dramatic finish lines in the entire Ultra Challenge calendar!
