The Remembrance Day Run - North East, a Saturn Running event in Durham, takes place near Green Lane and Old Elvet, with Durham Cathedral and Castle visible. Held around Remembrance Day, it functions as a time challenge: participants have 6 hours 32 minutes to complete any distance they wish, beginning with a minimum of 3 km.
The course utilizes laps. A full lap is 4.37 miles (7 km), but a 3.28-mile loop may be used if conditions necessitate. Standard distance choices range from 3 km to 50 km, including 5 km, 10 km, and half marathon and marathon options. This allows participation for beginners, walkers, club runners, and those seeking a longer challenge. The event honors remembrance, paying tribute to fallen heroes, with finishers receiving a themed medal reflecting this tribute. Aid stations are provided for longer distances. Saturn Running members receive guaranteed entry, the best price, and a mini-me medal pin at each event.
