RunThrough Trails Hamsterley Forest 10K and Half Marathon

This event is a trail running day held in Hamsterley Forest, County Durham, at Redford, Hamsterley, Bishop Auckland DL13 3NL, United Kingdom. Two race distances are offered:

  • 10K
  • Half Marathon

The courses run on forest tracks and winding trails with open vistas. Trails are described as undulating and well marked, with shaded sections beneath tall pines and clearings with wide views. The route will be marked with trail flags and A5 arrows, and marshals will be present to guide and encourage participants toward the finish gantry.

Entries include a unique themed medal, free race photos, chip timed results, and post race goodies. The event features an event village with a range of food and drink options and free items from partner organisations at the finish. Organisers note a focus on sustainability in event planning. Participants can add an event t shirt at checkout for more than 30% off as part of the entry, offered in partnership with RT Kit; the option aims to reduce overall costs for those who prefer not to include a t shirt.

After entry, participants receive a confirmation email and further information is sent closer to the event date. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
