SATURN - Scare Bear Run 2026 - North

The Scare Bear Run North is an annual running event held at Durham Amateur Rowing Club in Durham. It operates on a seven-hour time challenge, allowing participants to decide their own distance by completing laps within the time limit, adhering to UK Athletics age regulations. The minimum distance is 3 km, with runners able to extend their participation by adding laps as desired. A standard lap covers 7 km, but the organiser reserves the right to change this to a 3.28-mile loop if course conditions necessitate. This event welcomes participants of all skill levels, including walkers, catering to those aiming for significant distances and individuals seeking a relaxed, themed outing. The Scare Bear theme is inspired by the 1980s Care Bears cartoons, and all finishers receive a medal that is both charming and somewhat unsettling.
