Heart and Soul Fest

Heart and Soul Fest

Heart and Soul Fest takes place 31st July to 1st August 2026 at Druridge Bay, Morpeth NE61 5BX. The event uses a clearly marked and marshalled loop course of 4 km set within Druridge Bay Country Park.

The event format replaces set distances with time-based challenges. Participants may run, jog, or walk as far as they like within either 12 hour or 24 hour timeframes. Entries are accepted for solo competitors, pairs, or teams of up to 12. Results are determined by the number of completed laps.

Entry categories include open and pro options. Solo competitors complete laps alone, pairs may work together or relay, and teams can rotate runners in relay-style strategies to maintain momentum and manage recovery.

The festival also includes an outdoor hybrid competition organised by Process Driven Fitness and sponsored by WOD POWDERS. This section combines strength, endurance, and skill-based activities held outdoors and is available for solo and paired participants.

The weekend offers additional non-competitive elements including live music, headline acts to be announced, local food vendors, a licensed bar, and an afterparty. The programme notes the event is family-friendly and presents both competitive and social components across the weekend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
