Organiser's Description

This half marathon starts at the foot of Penshaw Hill. The route then takes in beautiful trails along the North and South side of the River Wear, with great views along the River and its broad range of wildlife and wildfowl, before the fabulous finish on Penshaw Monument itself. The finish and the bling will be worth the challenge! This race has everything you would want in a trail race, and also has great facilities for the whole family. Herrington Country Park has a children's play area, woodland walks and fun trail walks.
