The Ravenscar Half Marathon was run today for the second year. This event organised by the Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team attracted 130 runners and the improved route was well accepted by all. The winner came in with a time of 1 hour 28 mins.
The funds raised will go towards running the team for another year. The Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team currently has fifty active team members including doctors, paramedics, nurses and people with hillwalking and climbing experience.  Callouts come usually come from one of two sources - via a 999 call to the Police from a member of the public, or direct from the Yorkshire Ambulance Service.

Each year they are involved in around 45-50 incidents of a wide-ranging nature.

All Team members are volunteers who are on-call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Their main area is approximately 2100 square miles, our Northern boundary runs from Sandsend, near Whitby, to Helmsley then across to the A19, they have no formal southern boundary and have participated in incidents as far as Humberside. If you want to learn more about the teams work then click here
