About the race
Isaac’s Tea Trail Ultra - Backwards is a 37-mile loop through the North Pennines AONB, starting and finishing in Allendale, Northumberland. The route follows Isaac’s Tea Trail from Allendale via Ninebanks, Alston and Nenthead, returning to Allendale in reverse for 2026. The course climbs about 4,800 ft over a mix of farmland tracks, moorland and river trails, and is largely self-navigating with markers, a downloadable map and GPX, plus marshals at key points.
Features include a branded mug, free race photos, an event tracker and well-stocked checkpoints. A donation supports trail upkeep; a relay option is available. Eco-conscious elements include avoiding disposable cups and distributing wildflower seed packets. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
