Race for Life Darlington 5k

The Darlington route is a 5k loop of the beautiful South Park. The route begins by following the River Skerne, before crossing Parkside into the Meadows and then coming back into South Park by Squirrel Hill, the bandstand and the bowling green.

Please remember to bring your own water bottle already filled as there will be no bottled water provided at events. ScottishPower water refill stations will be available to use.

Please arrive 30 to 45 minutes before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.

Accessibility of this course changes depending on recent weather conditions due to a large section of the course being on grass.

In dry weather this route is accessible to wheelchair users but assistance is recommended. In wet conditions a large section of the course will be inaccessible to wheelchair users however the course can be adapted (although this will significantly reduce the distance). The main event site is on grass so may be muddy underfoot.

If you require any further information on the accessibility of a Race for Life event, or wish to bring a carer/helper to accompany you, please contact our Supporter Hotline on 0300 123 0770 and press 1 when prompted (Opening hours are 8am - 6pm Monday to Friday) or email us at [email protected]

The start line is on the promenade along Marine Terrace, outside the Bandstand. Please make your way to this event via Terrace Road.
