Middlesbrough Runs
Events of the North organises two town-centre races in Middlesbrough: the Ali Brownlee 5K and the Middlesbrough 10K. The courses use traffic-free roads through central Middlesbrough and pass local landmarks including Centre Square and the Riverside. Organisers describe the routes as flat and fast.
- Ali Brownlee 5K - minimum age 11, entry fee £17
- Middlesbrough 10K - minimum age 15, entry fee £29
Entries for the 2026 races are closed. Race entries include electronic chip timing, a medal and goody bag for finishers, a secure baggage drop and prizes for the top three men and women plus first V40, V50 and V60. Water stations are provided on the route and runners receive water at the finish. The races operate under rolling road closures for the duration of the event and use marshals and course signage at key junctions.
Race information and race packs are posted to UK entrants before the event; overseas entrants collect packs on the event weekend. Transfers and entry changes are allowed up to six weeks before race day. An Event Village in Centre Square offers stalls and food and there are volunteering opportunities for clubs and groups.
