Middlesbrough Runs

Middlesbrough Runs

Middlesbrough Runs returns with a town-centre event featuring two primary race distances. Organized by Events of the North, this event incorporates the 10 km race, formerly known as the Tees Pride 10K, and the 5 km race, which honors Ali Brownlee. Both races take place on traffic-free roads that are closed to vehicles for the duration of the event.

The course is designed to be flat and fast, starting and finishing at Centre Square. Participants run past various local landmarks, including the Riverside. The routes are fully signed and staffed by marshals at key junctions to assist with navigation. The races are chip-timed, providing runners with accurate start and finish times.

The event offers several distances:

• 10 km
• 5 km

The minimum age for the 5 km is 11 years, while participants must be at least 15 years old for the 10 km. All finishers receive a medal and a goody bag. The event site includes a secure baggage drop and an Event Village at Centre Square with stalls and activities. Water stations are positioned along the course and at the finish line.

The event supports Zoe’s Place Middlesbrough as its official charity partner, a hospice providing care for children with life-limiting conditions. Prizes are awarded to the top three male and female finishers, as well as winners in the V40, V50, and V60 age categories.

Middlesbrough central train station is located approximately a 10-minute walk from the start line. Various town centre car parks are available for those traveling by car, though some access may be restricted due to the road closure schedule.
