Beyond Newcastle

Beyond Newcastle is a trail and ultra running event held in Newcastle, starting and finishing at the Swing Bridge in the city center. Scheduled for April 25, 2026, it offers two distances: a 25km trail suitable for all levels and a challenging 55km ultra. The routes feature a mix of footpaths, parks, woodland trails, riverside paths, and disused railway lines, with some hills and steps.

The 55km ultra passes scenic spots like Wylam, Derwenthaugh Marina, Chopwell Woods, and the Derwent Valley. Both courses are fully signed and supported with feed stations and medical aid. Participants receive chip timing, a finisher’s medal, and GPX route files. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
