What you’re in for

Part of Trail Outlaws' Urban Trail Series and aimed at both first-time trail runners and those chasing a time. The 10K loops through James Steel Park and along wooded paths beside the River Wear towards Cox Green, near the Washington wetland centre, with modest climbing of about 125m. A 5K on similar ground starts 15 minutes later. Registration and parking are at St Robert of Newminster School on Biddick Lane. The course is taped and marshalled, with one checkpoint passed several times on the 10K. Trail shoes are the only kit requirement and both distances have a 2-hour limit.
