LRC Tees Trailtastic

LRC Tees Trailtastic is an off-road running event located in Barnard Castle, County Durham. Based at the TCR Hub, the event utilizes sections of the Teesdale Way. The routes feature rolling terrain with a variety of inclines and descents. The event is organized by The Long Run Collective and is designed as an adventure rather than a race, with a five-hour cut-off time that accommodates both runners and walkers.

Participants can choose from three distinct distances:

• 3.5 miles: Open to runners aged 15 and older.
• 9 miles: Open to runners aged 17 and older.
• 15 miles: Open to runners aged 17 and older.

The courses are fully marked and marshalled to assist with navigation. Aid stations providing water, fuel, and hydration are positioned along the routes, with one station for the 3.5 mile course, two for the 9 mile course, and four for the 15 mile course.

On-site facilities at the race headquarters include toilets, though changing rooms are not available. Paid vehicle parking is located at the adjacent Teesdale School, with limited free parking also available around the town. All finishers receive a memento, and professional event photographs are provided. Participants may also take part in an optional group warm-up and post-run yoga sessions held on the grass near the hub. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
