Hellhole 5 Mile Trail Race
The Hellhole 5 Mile Trail Race is an annual event hosted by the Derwentside Athletic Club in Stanley, County Durham. This race features a single distance for participants:
- 5 miles
The route consists of an undulating course with a total elevation gain of 500ft. The terrain is a combination of trail and tarmac surfaces, utilizing railway paths, open fields, and woodland tracks. This mix of surfaces makes the event suitable for individuals with previous trail experience as well as those transitioning from road running.
Registration takes place at The Ball Alley Pub beer garden, where participants can collect their details before moving to the start line located on the Sustrans cycle path by Orchard Grove. The event is open to both club members and unaffiliated runners. Participants can secure their entry through online pre-registration or by registering on the day of the event for an additional fee.
Facilities at the site include parking at Shield Row School on King Edward VIII Terrace. After the event, refreshments are available for purchase at The Ball Alley pub, which provides access to a dedicated beer garden area for those attending the race.
