North Yorks Challenge 2027

13 – 14 June 2027

Walk, jog or run the North Yorks Challenge for Deafblind UK!

100 / 50 or 25 km challenge

A basecamp in Scarborough starts a stunning coastal and moorland challenge, which you can take it on at your pace. Walk, jog, or run and fundraise for Deafblind UK! The route heads around the town and then north on the Cleveland Way, with a stunning coastline up through Robin Hood Bay and onward to Whitby. For full 100km challengers, it’s along the Esk Valley before heading south into classic moorland scenery, and back to Scarborough basecamp. Sign up as an individual or as a team; you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food & drink, optional camping & transfers, a special medal, T shirt and celebration finish. With 50km, 25km & 10-mile options also available –there’s a challenge for everyone!

Take on the North Yorks Challenge for Deafblind UK and help provide vital support to people who are deafblind across the UK.

What’s included?

  • Pre-event training guides and access to the challenge app
  • Hot meals, drinks and snacks en-route
  • Experienced marshals, medics and massage teams at rest stops
  • Fully-signed route
  • Finisher’s medal, t-shirt and a glass of bubbly
  • Shuttle buses and transfers

Fundraising options:

With £3 million needing to be raised each year to fund Deafblind UK’s full range of services, the difference your support makes cannot be overstated. Every £25 that you raise could pay for another hour of specialist wellbeing support for someone who is deafblind.

Choose your challenge distance and fund your entry in one of three ways:

  • Self-funding – you pay the full cost of the event place with no minimum fundraising commitment – just raise as much as you can!
  • Charity sponsorship – you pay a reduced registration fee and, providing you reach the fundraising goal, Deafblind UK will cover the cost of your event place
  • Mixed funding – you pay half of the event place cost yourself and, providing you reach the fundraising goal, Deafblind UK will pay the balance of the event place cost

Please note: when taking part in Ultra Challenge events you are asked to pledge to raise a sponsorship target when registering for ‘charity sponsorship’ and ‘mixed funding’ options. The sponsorship target depends on the distance of your challenge.
