Middlesbrough Runs
Middlesbrough Runs comprises two town-centre races: the Middlesbrough 10K and the Ali Brownlee 5K. The events joined the Events of the North series in 2026 and take place around Centre Square in Middlesbrough. The races use public roads that are closed for the duration of the event, and the course passes riverside areas and local landmarks.
The organisers describe the course as flat and fast. There will be course signage and marshals at key junctions and water stations on the route. Runners receive a medal and a goody bag on finishing, and electronic chip timing records each participant's time. A secure baggage drop is provided and there are prizes for the top three male and female finishers plus first V40, V50 and V60.
Race logistics and entry details include the following minimum ages:
- 5K minimum age 11
- 10K minimum age 15
Race packs are posted to UK entrants and must be collected on event weekend by overseas entrants. Entries for the 2026 races were closed for that year. The event features an Event Village in Centre Square with stalls and food and drink options, and town-centre car parks will be available though access may be restricted by road closures.
