The Survival is a friendly event open to runners and walkers based on an orienteering course of about 24 miles, to be completed within the 12-hour time limit. It is held in a different location within the Teams area each year and the location is not revealed until the week before the event.
The event is one of the major fundraisers for the Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team and is widely embraced by the local community as a way of funding a voluntary organisation which benefits the public.
The following kit is considered essential;
The event can be completed as an individual or as part of a group.
There will be a series of checkpoints identified by a grid reference and description. Your aim is to visit each checkpoint or via point in the order given on the route card.
Checkpoints are manned by Search and Rescue personnel with drinks available at some.
All competitors will be provided with a hot meal at the end of the event.
Applications can be made to join the team in a support role (Operational Support) or as a hill going (Search and Rescue) member.
Applications for either role can be made at any time. Intakes for Operational Support members occur at various times of the year. There is one annual intake for Search and Rescue normally each September.

Ahead of our Santa Sleigh run around Great Ayton next Monday, Santa went AWOL last night, going for an unplanned practice run with just one of his helpers. We then received reports of a ‘sleigh crash’ on the moors just outside Great Ayton. Fortunately, we just happened to be up that way for our final training night of the year - what a coincidence!
We’re pleased to report that Santa and his helper (who obviously wasn’t much help on the night!) were soon located. Other than a few bruises here and there they were largely okay. But we took no chances and carried them to the safety of our rescue Land Rovers before they disappeared into the night. They’ll be back on Monday for the sleigh run but this time safely escorted by a crack team of Cleveland’s mountain rescue Elves!
Training last night was organised by a group of our members who are coming towards the end of their Probationary year. We were also helped by our four Prospective members as they aim to become Probationers in 2025. Good luck to both groups for ‘decision time’ when the Committee meets in January.
