Tommy Runs

The Tommy Runs begin at the Tommy War Memorial statue on Terrace Green in Seaham, County Durham, with the sea adjacent to the initial section. Wild Deer organizes the series; its 10K takes place at 9:30 AM the week before Memorial Sunday. It is a straightforward 10K, not a multi-distance event, with the start location listed as SR7 7EU. The course utilizes Seaham’s seafront, incorporating road, paths, promenade, and some trail sections, offering runners varied terrain. The statue, depicting a First World War soldier and created by artist Ray Lonsdale, stands near the Seaham War Memorial. Prior to each run, participants observe a one-minute silence, connecting the race directly to its memorial context.
