Sunday 26th July

We welcome you to our charity fundraiser, The 'Beat The Sun' Cleveland Way Challenge in support of Dementia UK and Cornwallis Care Services Ltd. On Sunday 26th July, we will take on the epic challenge of running the whole length of The Cleveland Way (109 miles) as a team relay from Helmsley to Filey. Experience the varied landscape of the North York Moors National Park on a journey across breathtaking heather moorland and dramatic coastline. We aim to beat the Sun and finish in Filey before 9:15 pm, support Emma and her family on the last leg and celebrate in style at the finish with a party to end a truly epic challenge.
