Run to the Rising Sun 10k
Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom • 14 Dec 2025
Run to the Rising Sun is a 10k trail race held at Rising Sun Country Park in North Tyneside (Benton, near Newcastle). The course is traffic-free, well-marked and marshalled, running on good gravel tracks, grassy paths and woodland trails with a single main summit. Runners are timed to reach the hilltop at sunrise, then descend toward a finish finished in good time for the rest of the day. The event emphasizes eco-friendly practices: no disposable cups, eco medals embedded with wildflower seeds, and a tree planted for every medal purchased. The café will be open after the race, with opportunities to explore the park or car-share to reduce impact. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
