The course

Start time not confirmed yet — check with the organiser.

What you’re in for

About 13 miles from Square Corner above Osmotherley, round Black Hambleton and Silton Woods on forest tracks and old trods, with the Vale of York below you. Like every Revenge race it saves a sting for the end. There are some flags and marshals, but you navigate yourself, and there are technical climbs and descents. Bespoke finisher medal.
