Take on the 60th cleveland hike this june
a challenge like no other
Location
The Cleveland Hike takes place in the stunning North York Moors. Teams navigate and compete across rolling hills, forests, and open moorland.
Distance
Choose a challenge that suits your team. Opt for a single-day event—20 miles on Saturday or 10 miles on Sunday—or take on the full two-day, 30-mile challenge. Whether you’re pushing your limits or taking a steadier approach, you’ll still put your endurance and navigation skills to the test.
How it works
The event is broken into multiple checkpoints at roughly 3 to 4 mile intervals. Using only maps and compasses, teams must plan their own route and navigate between them. Points are awarded for speed, accuracy and for completing the physical or mental challenge at each checkpoint.
Who can enter?
Open to teams of 3-4, with categories for youth, adults, and expedition groups. Whether you're looking to compete for glory or simply aiming to complete the course, the Cleveland Hike is an adventure for all experience levels.
Who can enter?
The Cleveland Hike is an inclusive event open to everyone. Whether you’re an experienced trekker, an orienteering enthusiast, or a runner looking for something different, this is your chance to test yourself in one of the UK’s most spectacular settings.
The Cleveland Hike is split into three competitions:
- Expedition – A non-competitive option for teams with younger participants (under 12) accompanied by an experienced adult.
- Youth Teams (Ages 13-19)
- Adult Teams (Ages 20+)
a race for everyone
The Cleveland Hike is open to everyone—whether you’re a seasoned hiker, a runner looking for a new challenge, or simply after an unforgettable team adventure.
The adult competition is a favourite among endurance hikers, runners, and even military teams, while the youth event attracts groups such as Cadets, The Boys’ Brigade, Running Clubs, Scouts, DofE, and more. Whatever your background, if you’re up for the challenge, you’re in the right place!
