What you’re in for

The shorter of the two Wooler Trail races, run the day after the marathon. From Wooler Hostel it heads into the northern Cheviot foothills to a checkpoint at Yeavering Bell and back, about 14 miles with roughly 740m of climbing, almost all off-road on hill paths and moorland. The course is marked with tape and signs, but mandatory kit includes map and compass, survival blanket, waterproof and full-length leggings, as November conditions can be wet, frozen or snowy. There is a 4-hour limit and a cut-off at Yeavering Bell. Parking is at Wooler Auction Mart.

EXPERT

The Cheviot and the Pennine Way from Wooler

45.9km · 1,664m climb · Loop · 0.3km away

This links the two great paths of the north in one loop: the final stretch of the Pennine Way over the Border Ridge, and the Wooler stage of St Cuthbert's Way back through College Valley. Almost nobody runs the whole thing.

HARD

Broadstruther and Gains Law from Wooler

20.3km · 585m climb · Loop · 0.3km away

It gets you deep into the quiet northern Cheviots without a single big climb, and the last 6km on St Cuthbert's Way over Gains Law is genuinely fast running with the whole Milfield plain in front of you.
