Locomotion Trail Runs

Locomotion Trail Runs, held at Locomotion in Eaglescliffe, celebrate the 200th anniversary of the S&DR railway with two race options: 10 miles and 5 miles. The courses run partially along the original railway route, blending road and trail segments (3 miles on road and 7 miles on track for the 10‑mile route; 1.5 miles on road and 3.5 miles on track for the 5‑mile route). The event is dog-friendly but not suitable for most prams.

Ambassadors include The Baroness Grey-Thompson for the 10‑mile and MP Matt Vickers for the 5‑mile. Proceeds support the Great North Air Ambulance. Organised by Locomotion Hotel with Railway200 and local partners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
