Prudhoe Miners

The Prudhoe Miners Races, held in Prudhoe Town, offer road-closed running events featuring 2km, 5km, and 10km distances. Starting and finishing at Prudhoe Town Football Club, the flatter 5km and 10km routes pass through Low Prudhoe Industrial Estate, making them ideal for beginners or those seeking personal bests. The courses are officially measured and suitable as a fitness test for the Great North Run.

The event welcomes children aged 8-11 for the 2km race, with older participants eligible for longer distances. Live chip timing is provided, and all finishers receive medals and merchandise. Limited parking is available due to road closures. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
