The Yorkshire based Cave Rescue Organisation will be holding Challenge 2015, its annual walk/run fundraiser this year on May 16th.

Participants will have the choice of running or walking one of two routes, The Ingleborough Marathon, a 42 kilometer (26 mile) route, or the Clapham Circuit which will be around 20-21 kilometers (12-13 miles).

Following the success of this year’s event and the positive feedback from the challengers who took part, the same routes will be used this year. Both of routes will take challengers along seldom used footpaths and tracks through some of the most attractive areas of the Ribble Valley.

The Ingleborough Marathon will track to the summit of Ingleborough, down towards the Hill Inn and then the route will be off the official footpath and on land that the CRO have been given special permission for access only for the May 16th to Selside. From Selside the route will cross the valley and follow a section of the Ribble Way to Horton-in Ribblesdale, then back to Sulber Nick where it will take the same route back to Clapham as the Clapham Circuit.

Attendees are asked to raise at least £25.00 per person for the Ingleborough Marathon or £15.00 for the Clapham Circuit.
