Four Reservoirs Ultra Trail Run - County Durham

Consett, United Kingdom • 19 Oct 2025

The Four Reservoirs Ultra Trail Run, held in County Durham, starts from Shotley Bridge near Consett and offers two distances: a challenging 53km ultra and a new 25km trail run. The scenic routes showcase the natural beauty of the area, passing four reservoirs—Waskerley, Smiddy Shaw, Hisehope, and Derwent—along with moorlands, woodlands, and former railway paths like the Derwent Walk. The 53km course is a circular route with three feed stations, while the 25km route shares much of the same path with one feed station. The event emphasizes safety with mandatory kit requirements and features live chip timing. Finishers receive a medal, long-sleeved top, and energy bar.
