The event will be hosted once again by Teesdale Athletic Club within the magnificant grounds of Raby Castle, near Staindrop, in Teesdale, and its surrounding estate. This year will see a full programme of four races for all abilities, including the 1.2 km Fun Run for those aged 8 years old and under and the 3 km Fun Run for those aged 11 year old and under. Following the junior events a 5.0 km distance for those aged 11 years and over will take place followed by the 10 km race for all competitors aged 16 years and over.

This is a very popular event and despite increasing the number of available places both the 5.0 km and 10 km events sold out swiftly last year. The Race Director advises competitors to book early to avoid disappointment.

The 5k and 10k races start 10 minutes apart, facing each other across the the ancient Market square. With a little luck you may have produced youre own historical performance to match the surrounding splendour!

Come and take part in Newton Aycliffe's biggest sporting event. This fully closed ciruit, undulating 10K road race is not one to be missed.

The Kirkley 10k is an undulating course on local roads looping through Kirkley and Ogle, finishing on the Equestrian Drive at Kirkley Hall. Chip timing will be used on this accurately measured route through Kirkley and Ogle. All finishers will receive a medal and an optional race t-shirt is available at extra cost.

Thrunton Woods itself only allows a very small number of events to be hosted there so dont miss your chance to strap your shoes on here. Roots, rocks, mud and a good helping of prime Northumbrian bog awaits to test your physical and mental resolve. There may or may not be a special ending (wink wink) and there may or may not be an extra 2 miles on the overall distance (cough!).
