After the successful return of The South Shields 10 Mile Race in 2021, we will return in 2022 with our fantastic course along the beautiful coast of South Shields. The race has been a sell-out every year & we encourage early registration to guarantee your place. 

Starting at Souter Lighthouse, the course heads North along the beautiful South Shields coastline and The Leas before returning back to the Lighthouse. 

Look out for beautiful views of Marsden Rock, Frenchman's Bay, Sandhaven Beach & of course Souter Lighthouse! 

The hugely popular South Shields 10 is a fantastic challenge on multi terrain, including trails and coastal paths. 

All finishing runners will receive a South Shields 10 Mile medal for taking part. Awards will be provided for first 3 male & female.
