Margisons Miles

Margisons Miles is an annual charity running event held in the town of Ashington. The event takes place in the Community Woods at Lintonville Terrace and serves as a fundraiser for the Wansbeck Valley Food Bank, Friends of the Woods, and the AHRC Charity Fund. Participants can contribute to a food collection point located at the race site.

The event follows a 6 hour time-limit format on a flat trail course. Runners may complete as much or as little distance as they choose within this window at any pace. Participation is limited to 100 entrants, and all race numbers are collected on the day at the start area.

The following age-based distance restrictions apply for younger participants:

• Under 18: Maximum distance of 25 km.
• Under 20: Maximum distance of 45 km.

The minimum age for entry is 17 years old. The course is not suitable for wheelchairs and does not feature distance markers. While there are no toilet, changing, or shower facilities directly at the race headquarters, public toilets and free parking are located nearby. This is a cup-less event, and participants are required to bring their own cups. Finisher rewards include sweets and water provided for each completed lap.
