Four Reservoirs Ultra Trail Run - County Durham

Consett, United Kingdom • 19 Oct 2025

The Four Reservoirs Ultra Trail Run, held in Shotley Bridge near Consett, County Durham, offers two distances: a challenging 53km ultra and a new 25km trail run. The scenic circular 53km route passes four reservoirs—Waskerley, Smiddy Shaw, Hisehope, and Derwent—traversing moorlands, woodlands, and former railway paths like the Derwent Walk and Waskerley Way. The 25km course shares much of the same route before diverging near Rowley Station.

The event features well-stocked feed stations, mandatory safety kit requirements, and live chip timing. Finishers receive a medal, long-sleeved top, and energy bar. Free parking is available at Shotley Bridge Hospital. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
