North Yorkshire Ultra Challenge

Take on the North Yorkshire Ultra Challenge and experience some of the most spectacular scenery in northern England while raising vital funds for Terrence Higgins Trust. Starting in the historic seaside town of Scarborough, famous for its sandy beaches and rich heritage, the route follows the stunning Cleveland Way along the Yorkshire coast.

The challenge takes in breathtaking coastal views, passing through the picturesque village of Robin Hood's Bay before reaching the historic town of Whitby, known for its abbey and connections to Captain James Cook. For those taking on the full 100km challenge, the route then heads inland through the beautiful Esk Valley, across the North York Moors and through forest trails before rejoining the Tabular Hills Walk and returning to Scarborough.

Whether you're tackling the full distance or a shorter option, you'll enjoy an unforgettable adventure with full support throughout. Every step you take will help Terrence Higgins Trust tackle HIV stigma, prevent new HIV transmissions, and support people living with and affected by HIV.
