The Racing Welfare Castle to Abbey Challenge

Join Racing Welfare for the Castle to Abbey Coastal Challenge on Sunday 6th July, and experience 22 miles of Yorkshire’s dramatic coastline. This route along the Cleveland Way National Trail includes over 1000 metres of ascent, comparable to climbing Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa).

Expect lots of ascents and descents, steep sections, and plenty of steps. Along the way, you’ll enjoy the chance to glimpse dolphins, seals, and birdlife, walk through wooded glades and along rugged clifftops, and pass through iconic fishing villages like Robin Hood’s Bay in the North York Moors National Park.

Challengers will meet at Whitby Abbey Headland Carpark (YO22 4EH) at 6.30am to register and collect their goody bags, before hopping on a coach to the start. The walk begins at Scarborough Castle, a 12th-century fortress and the final leg passes above Saltwick Bay and heads towards the finish at Whitby Abbey.
