About the Event

Escape into the raw beauty of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Stanhope Trail Races, organized by Greener Miles Running, take place on Saturday, 11 April 2026, offering a choice between a challenging Half Marathon and a scenic 10k. Starting near the Stanhope Show Ground in County Durham, the routes venture onto the open moorland, climbing past historic landmarks like Collier Law and Parkhead Station before descending through ancient woodlands and past a waterfall on the way back to the village. With a strong ethos of environmental responsibility as a member of the North Pennines AONB Responsible Tourism Charter, this event focuses on creating memorable, low-impact adventures rather than personal bests. Expect fully waymarked trails, friendly marshals, well-stocked feed stations, and a warm welcome with hot food at the finish—an authentic and rewarding trail running experience in one of England's most dramatic and protected landscapes.
