Run Durham Hamsterley Remembrance Day 5 Miler 2026
The Hamsterley 5 Miler is an 'out and back' course which incorporates wonderful scenery with some steady climbs near the turn. The return can be seen as more leisurely, with it consisting mainly of flat surfaces heading downhill. The race is a large loop, beginning and ending at the Nest Car Park, near the middle of the Hamsterley Forest Drive.
Chip Timing will be used on this accurately measured route. All finishers will receive a bespoke medal and an optional race T-shirt available at an extra cost.
