Derwent Reservoir 10 Miler

Consett, United Kingdom • 16 May 2027

Derwent Reservoir Runs : 16 May 2027

Derwent Reservoir hosts three measured runs around the reservoir on 16 May 2027. The event is the ninth running of these races; the date was moved to May to allow for more on-site car parking.

The routes use mixed terrain around the reservoir, which is owned by Northumbrian Water and sits on the border of County Durham and Northumberland. The 10 mile route completes a full lap of the reservoir on closed roads and firm trails. The shorter options use firm trails throughout.

Distances

  • 5 km - firm trails; canicross friendly (one controlled dog per runner)
  • 5 mile - firm trails; canicross friendly (one controlled dog per runner)
  • 10 mile - full lap of reservoir on closed roads and firm trails; 2.5 hour cut off

Live chip timing is provided by Timing Up North. Due to road closures there is a 2.5 hour cut off for the 10 mile event. All finishers receive an event medal, Wild Deer merchandise, and a snack and drink. An event T-shirt is available to purchase for £12.50.

On-site parking requires a parking pass at £3 per vehicle; final payment arrangements will be confirmed nearer the event. Entry fees listed for the event are £22 for 5 km, £26 for 5 mile, and £29 for 10 mile. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
