Isaac's Tea Trail Ultra

Isaac’s Tea Trail Ultra is a challenging 37-mile trail running event held in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in Northern England. The race starts and finishes in Allendale, following a loop through scenic villages including Ninebanks, Alston, and Nenthead. Participants navigate a varied course featuring farmland tracks, riverside trails, meadows, and moorland with 4,800 feet of ascent.

The event offers both solo ultra and relay team options, with well-stocked checkpoints and eco-friendly race goodies. Runners have 12 hours to complete the route, which is self-navigated using provided maps and GPX files. The race celebrates local heritage linked to Isaac Holden, an itinerant tea seller and fundraiser. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
