Celebrate 40 years of community racing heritage at the Redcar Running Festival on Sunday, September 27, 2026, a classic seaside event organized by the passionate volunteers of New Marske Harriers. This inclusive festival offers a challenge for every runner: the flagship Redcar Half Marathon along the iconic coast road, the fast and flat Zetland 10k, and dedicated 3k races for young athletes and fun runners, all renowned for their exceptional value and friendly, club-run atmosphere. With a principle rooted in promoting athletics rather than profit, any surplus directly supports running in the borough and local environmental causes, adding a powerful sense of community contribution to your race day. The courses boast stunning views of the North Sea, providing a perfect, scenic backdrop for a personal best on the smooth tarmac or a memorable first-time goal. As a cornerstone of the North-East running calendar, the festival encapsulates the true spirit of the sport—welcoming, well-organized, and focused on the shared joy of running. Secure your spot for an autumn Sunday where your effort is cheered by the sea breeze, and your finish contributes to a legacy four decades in the making.
