Rising Sun Country Park 10K Trail Run

The Rising Sun Country Park 10K Trail Run is a multi-terrain 10K race held in Newcastle upon Tyne. It begins at 9:30 am from the Rising Sun Country Park, postcode NE12 9SS. The park is located approximately five miles north-east of Newcastle city centre, within North Tyneside, positioning this event as a city-edge trail race, distinct from a remote fell run. The course crosses the park’s grasslands, woodlands, and nature reserve, following a combination of marked and unmarked paths. Participants should anticipate steep ascents, damp areas, and muddy stretches, encountering local wildlife and forest environments throughout. This race is included in the VO2Max Racing Events series, is managed by Barry Taylor, and is open to individuals aged 16 and above. Charity fundraising options are provided via GoFundMe.
