Durham City Run Festival
The Durham City Run Festival is a midsummer running event held in Durham, County Durham, featuring 5K and 10K races through the city's historic streets. Participants race along narrow cobbled lanes and beside the scenic River Wear, with the iconic 900-year-old Durham Cathedral providing a stunning backdrop. Both races conclude at the impressive Palace Green, creating a memorable finish.
The festival also includes a family team relay event called Families on Track at Durham Racecourse. Runners receive medals, goody bags, electronic chip timing, and post-race massages. The event offers prizes for top finishers and various age categories, combining competitive racing with a vibrant, historic atmosphere.
