Set for Saturday, July 8, the Large Outdoors-led contest is a 12-hour challenge that is 25 miles long and includes over 1,500 metres of ascent of Yorkshire peaks Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent, and Whernside. Starting and finishing in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, the challenge is  £35 per person with sponsorships going for a minimum of £300.

“As this challenge takes place in my home county of North Yorkshire, 'God's County', I just couldn't resist signing up myself,” Racing Welfare's chief executive Dawn Goodfellow said. “Although this will be a mammoth physical challenge, I'm buoyed by the prospect of completing it in the company of amazing people from all corners of the racing industry, and the knowledge that we will be raising a great deal of money for racing's people.”
