New Landmarks, New Adventures & Landmark Challenge Medals this year! 

The challenge is a fun & exciting project with a combination of running, navigation and the history & heritage of South Shields. The challenge will have set start & finish points, but the remaining checkpoints can be completed in any order and you can navigate your own route. 

The full list of checkpoints and map will be announced on this page 7 days before the challenge. You will need to work out where the checkpoints are as a team. Join us afterwards for post run refreshments & awards with all of the runners & organising team. 

Open to all levels of runner including members and non members of running clubs. Fancy dress and team outfits actively encouraged! 

How the challenge will work 

A list of landmarks and a map will be provided to entrants 1 week before the event.

Teams must have a minimum of 2 runners. There is no limit on the number of runners in your team. 

Teams must visit the landmarks by navigating their own route. There is no official marked route and teams will find the checkpoints on their own.

Teams must take a team photo at each of the landmarks to prove they’ve visited.

The aim is to visit all of the landmarks in the shortest time possible. 

Prizes for first all male & first all female winning teams. 

All runners must be part of a team. When entering, your team name can either be picked from the drop down list or if it is the first member of a team entering, they will need to add the name for others to choose.

Entry Fee £12 per Runner

Start/Finish & Registration at The Sanddancer Pub NE33 2LD.
