Urban Trail Series

Urban Trail Series

The Urban Trail Series (UTS) is a collection of trail running events organized by Trail Outlaws, designed to provide participants with the opportunity to run on local trails. The series includes several events held across various locations such as Washington, Durham, and the North East coast. All courses in the series are fully marked and marshalled to assist runners.

Participants can choose from a range of distances across the different events. The series features the following distances:

• 5 km (available at Washington, Durham, and Branches & Bays)
• 10 km (available at Washington, Branches & Bays, and Penshaw)
• 10 miles (available at Durham)
• Half Marathon (Coastal and Penshaw locations)

The events take place on varied terrain, including local trails, countryside paths, and coastal routes. Some courses include specific features such as steps, shale beaches, and hills. Age requirements vary by distance, with the 5 km open to those aged 12 and over, while the 10 mile and Half Marathon events require participants to be at least 18 years old.

Prizes are awarded to the winners of each individual race. Runners have the option to enter individual events or purchase a season ticket for the entire series. The season ticket includes a discount and an entry to a presentation evening held later in the year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
