This event would be a perfect training run for The Great North Run and due to popular demand we are bringing with us a number of our past medals!  Click here to enter
This is a 7 hour timed event where you can choose your distance from 5km to ultra. You can complete as many laps of a 3.28 mile (5.3km) course along the River Wear as you wish within the 7 hour limit. We welcome runners of all abilities and as long as you complete at least one lap you will be able to choose from any of our previous iconic medals. Alternatively, you may carry on running and complete as many laps as you can manage within the time limit! We also have a 50k option for those wishing to run this distance.
For those runners who choose to run 4 laps or more, you will also earn our half marathon, mega-half, marathon, 50km or ultra pins which can be attached to your medal ribbon.
The course is classified as a trail run, however all paths are well maintained and no navigation is required.
The aid station is at the start line and therefore available every 3.28 miles. The toilets are situated in Durham Amateur Rowing Club which is available for our runners use from 8am and for the entire event.
Our medals will be strictly allocated on a first come first served basis and must be selected from the drop down list. We will provide updates on our Facebook Chat Group on how many medals are left.

Gateshead Trail 10k - 13th August 2022

13/8/2022

0 Comments

 
The Gateshead Trail 10k that winds through the Derwent Walk Country Park is a fast, fun, and scenic race, with only a few inclines. It is a race that is suitable for all levels of runner.  Mid-race you will find the race has a section of the route that doubles up creating a fantastic social element.  Thanks to the rangers all the paths are also well maintained so although it is a trail race the 'off road' sections of path are hard packed and easy to run on. Essentially its a great introduction to world of trail running, away from the busy roads amongst scenery.
​
​The start / finish area in Blaydon rugby club will welcome you with a relaxed family atmosphere. Bacon sandwiches, burgers and other delightful treats will be available from our street food vendors as well as freshly brewed Coffee from our artisan Coffee guys.  and a massage tent to smooth out any sore muscles.
