Pick your distance
What you’re in for
A 5km, a 10km or a half marathon in the deer park at Raby Castle, Staindrop, in September, on routes new for 2026. Two hundred acres of parkland around one of the best-preserved medieval castles in the country, with herds of red and fallow deer moving through it and the towers appearing and disappearing through the trees as you run. The 5km is 5.0km, the 10km 10.2km, the half 21.2km. Start expected around ten. The organiser pitches it at everyone from first-timers to regulars, and the ground supports that.
Terrain and trail
Firm paths, woodland trail and grass with gentle undulations — nothing steep, nothing technical. September is usually dry underfoot in the park; the grass sections will be the softest ground. Road shoes with tread or a light trail shoe.
