Stanhope 10 Miler 2026
The Stanhope 10 Miler is a non-profit, plastic-free event that supports local charities by raising funds and awareness of their cause. All money raised goes directly to the charity, Quinn’s Retreat (Registered Charity Number - 1187899), which offers a retreat for those bereaved by suicide.
The run takes place in the heart of the Durham dales. Make your way out of Stanhope with a hard ascent up (Killing Me) Softly Bank towards Bollihope reaching a height of 1300ft. Move onto Hill End before making your way back through Stanhope and finishing at Stanhope Show field. You will take in the breath-taking views of the dales which will take your mind off this challenging but very rewarding run. 90% of the run takes place on road, 10% grass/trail.
All participants are to register at event HQ where numbers will be allocated.
Registration opens at 08:00hrs. Walkers please register and be ready to start for 09:00hrs (Not timed). Runners start at 10:00hrs (Timed).
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT IS AN OPEN ROAD RUN AND ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL RUN AT THEIR OWN RISK
