This inclusive and beautifully crafted event offers routes that cater to beginners, seasoned athletes, and everyone in between, with distances ranging from a manageable 3.5 miles to the more challenging 9 and 15-mile courses. The trails are meticulously designed to highlight some of the most stunning vistas in the area while providing varied terrain that tests your skills but keeps you engaged throughout. Friendly marshals line the routes, ensuring every runner feels supported as they tackle hills, descents, and scenic paths. Upon finishing, participants will be greeted with a warm community atmosphere at the finish line where goodies await to celebrate their achievement. The event also offers optional group warm-up sessions and post-run LRC Yoga led by yoga instructor Susie from Long Run Collective, enhancing your overall experience beyond just running. All runners who complete the race receive exclusive Tees Trailtastic memorabilia, a tangible reminder of the day’s camaraderie and beauty. Additionally, spot prizes are up for grabs thanks to generous local businesses, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.

About Barnard Castle
Learn more about the host city, Barnard Castle.
Barnard Castle is a market town in County Durham in northeast England, with a population of 5800 in 2021. It has a picturesque ruined castle and the over-the-top Bowes Museum. Dickens, Wordsworth, JMW Turner, Defoe and Sir Walter Scott were all inspired here. Another admirer of the view was Dominic Cummings the chief advisor to the prime minister, who in 2020 drove some distance to Barnard Castle during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. He said it was to test his eyesight.
