Beyond Newcastle 2027
Beyond Newcastle is a trail event organised by Wild Deer Events with a city‑centre start on Newcastle Quayside and routes that use river paths, woods and valley trails. Both routes start beneath the Swing Bridge and are fully signed and supported with marshals and feed stations.
Distances:
- 55 km Ultra
- 25 km Trail run
The 55 km route follows the River Tyne to Wylam, crosses the Tyne, runs past Derwenthaugh Marina, follows the River Derwent, passes High Spen and Chopwell Woods, goes through Lintzford and the Derwent Valley, then returns along the Derwent Walk to meet the River Tyne and finish at the Swing Bridge on the Newcastle side. The 25 km route uses a shorter section of the same network.
There are three well stocked feed stations on the 55 km course and one on the 25 km course; the 55 km stations are located at 10, 20 and 26 miles, and the 25 km station is at 8 miles. Live chip timing is provided by Timing Up North. All finishers receive an event medal, event merchandise, and a snack and drink.
Recommended compulsory kit includes a running backpack or vest, water or fluids, a charged mobile phone with emergency contacts saved, some food or gels, and a lightweight jacket. Entry prices listed start from £39 to £59. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
