24hr Prevail Run – Yarm
Saturday, November 7th, 2026
Endurance. Grit. Community.
The 24hr Prevail Run is an endurance challenge like no other, set against the backdrop of rolling fields and open countryside near Yarm. This grassroots event celebrates perseverance through a unique format that tests both physical stamina and mental fortitude. Participants will run one lap every hour for 24 hours straight, covering a total distance of 160 kilometers over rugged trails.
The course winds its way across private farmland, offering runners breathtaking views along the River Tees while navigating challenging terrain filled with mud, roots, ruts, and unpredictable weather conditions. Each loop measures precisely 6.7km, providing an equal opportunity for all competitors regardless of speed or experience level. The true test lies in maintaining consistency and discipline throughout the grueling day-and-a-half period.
The event's ethos is deeply rooted in supporting Everymancan, a mental health charity dedicated to helping men find strength through connection and open dialogue about their struggles. By participating, runners contribute not only physically but also emotionally by raising awareness for this crucial cause. Each lap completed symbolizes the journey towards overcoming personal challenges and breaking down barriers surrounding mental well-being.
The atmosphere at Prevail Run is one of camaraderie and mutual support. Participants can expect a tight-knit community cheering them on every hour, creating an environment where shared struggles lead to collective triumphs. Fireworks light up the night sky as runners push through fatigue under the glow of headtorches, fostering a sense of unity among those striving for endurance.
This event is open to trail enthusiasts seeking new challenges, ultra-runners who thrive in strategic racing conditions, and newcomers looking to dip their toes into long-distance running with structured support. Regardless of your pace or background, what matters most at Prevail Run is showing up consistently and pushing through adversity.
Join us on November 7th for a day that transcends physical boundaries and addresses the importance of mental health advocacy within our community. Experience firsthand how endurance can be more than just distance covered—it's about prevailing against doubt, fatigue, and societal silence around mental well-being.
