A beautiful and scenic 12km run through North Tyneside
The North Tyneside Trail Run is a multi terrain trail run with a new start for 2025 on the beach at Watts Slope and ending at the running track at Churchill Playing Fields. It's approx 12k but we can't be exact with these things as we often tweak it a little bit to keep you all on your toes, it all just adds to the mud and the fun after all!
The run takes in the beautiful beach at Whitley Bay, the clifftops and coastal paths winding their way along to Seaton Sluice, through the trails and mud of Holywell Dene, along the Waggonways and ends with a partial lap of the running track at Churchill Fields.
This year everyone's running across the beach, no going the easy route through the carpark ! But of course the choice of up the first hill or the last hill in Holywell Dene is still all yours, it doesn't matter which one you go for as either way there's a hill and you gotta get to the top!
Race HQ is at North Shields Poly clubhouse at Churchill Playing Fields where we also have toilets and changing facilities. The race start is a short 10 min stroll down to the seafront at the War Memorial at Spanish City and the race ends back at the Clubhouse where we will have hot and cold drinks and lots and lots of lovely cakes, scones, flapjacks, brownies and all manner of tasty delights, but don't eat all the flapjacks as I like them and I've been known to eat a lot, and I mean a lot.
Numbers are to be collected on the day from the Race HQ which will be open from 8:30am
This year we've gone crazy and decided to hell with medals ! This year it's all about buffs, I mean who doesn't love a buff. Stick it on your head like a pirate or Hulk Hogan, wear it on your wrist flapping around like a new romantic or dangle it from your back pocket and imagine your Morrissey. The options are endless.
