Middlesbrough Runs
Middlesbrough Runs features two town races organised by Events of the North on 30 August 2026, held around Centre Square and the Riverside area of Middlesbrough. The programme includes a 5K named the Ali Brownlee 5K and a Middlesbrough 10K, with traffic-free sections through the town centre and route signage and marshals at key junctions.
Entry includes electronic chip timing, a medal and goody bag for finishers, a secure baggage drop and water provided on completion. Prizes are awarded to the top three male and female finishers and to the first veterans in V40, V50 and V60 categories. Race packs are posted to UK entrants in advance where applicable; overseas entrants collect packs at Race Information on the event weekend.
Participants must meet minimum age limits: 11 years for the 5K and 15 years for the 10K. Entries close at midnight on Wednesday 26 August 2026 or when sold out, and no entries are accepted on the day. Road closures will be in place for the duration of the races and a Race Guide with full details is sent to participants before the event.
The event includes an Event Village with stalls and food outlets, course water stations, and volunteer roles for marshals and service points. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
