When the North Sea wind picks up, the River Wear path gives you a sheltered option with a proper four-mile out-and-back from the city centre. Herrington Country Park south of the city has a mix of paved and unpaved paths with some hills, perfect for harder sessions. 10K runs in Sunderland are the next step when you want more distance.
